what cap, rotor, and wires to get?
getting ready to swap all this stuff, and i was wondering what you guys have to say about it. i'm getting ready to do cap, rotor, wires, and coil. probably all MSD because its pretty red! thanx
My MSD wires melted internally. I had the 8 mm ones and they balloned up to twice their normal size and melted along my valve covers. I usually advocate for MSD and their usual qulity but not this time. I run GM wires now and Acell Cap and rotor.

I went with the MSD 8.5mm Superconducters, MSD Cap/Rotor, and MSD Blaster Coil and I am very happy with the results that I have had them for a year of driving.

i run accel cap n rotor,accel coil, msd 6a box and msd 8.5 wires with accel shorty plugs......no complaints.....just make sure you get all 90 degree boots if you have headers
I have the MSD cap and rotor which has worked well and looked fine when I pulled it off; I ran it for a year. I dont really like the Accel wires cause they burnt prematurely before. Right now I am running Taylor wires, which have worked excellent. They have a higher resistance though than the MSDs but they wont burn, and I like that.

I HAVEN'T HEARD TOO MUCH ABOUT MOROSO BLUE MAX WIRES I KNOW SOME GUYS WHO RUN THEM AND LIKE THEM WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?
You have to watch and make sure your are getting suppression wires. You can't run a spiral core. MSD are suppression at a low resistance. Other wise ACDelco p/n 618V are 8mm wires with 90 degree spark plug boots. I used the Delco due to the price and Mr Gasket makes excellent wire dividers that bolt to the two middle (center bolt) bolts holding valve covers on. However, I think they might be on back order currently. It took a couple weeks to get mine.
