Will this Work?, MSD 6A and accel 8mm wires?

What's up guys? I got a question for ya'll...
I just got the MSD 6A, but while reading the instructions it said not to be used with solid core spark plug wires... I have accel 8mm super stock wires (pt#4048), are these ok? I dont know the differance between helically coiled and solid core....these accel's are "carbon/graphite conductive material, high resistance suppression, fibreglass/kevlar 3000-7000ohms/ft resistance" as quoted from the box...will it be ok to use these wires? Thanks guys!

Those wires should be spiral core. I just put a set on my car last week and my box said spiral core on them..

So is spiral core compatible then?

I believe so.
I ran spiral core wires on my MSD 6A in my 86 Trans Am.

Spiral core works fine. I wouldn't buy accel wires anymore after my last set though. They were the extreme heat. They blistered and cracked. I even used the plug hangers that keep them seperated and away from hot stuff.
