As per the MSD 6AL documentation, "Solid core spark plug wires cannot be used with an MSD igniton".

I use Accel 8.8mm spiral core wires with mine and have had good results with them, although some of the guys here might have had better results with Taylors, MSD, etc. I would say it's mostly personal preference but just stay away from solid core wires. Hope this helps.
