plug wire Questions

I need new spark plug wires because mine are old and I am installing slp headers. Im getting made for you wire seperators too. I want to make my own wires so I canmake them the right length and look neat On my L98. Got ?'s though.
1) Is it easy to make your own wires?
2)when looking at wires do things like RFI suppresion and ohms or whatever matter.
3)Who makes the best or a good 8-9mm kit I could put together?

I have had 2 sets of accell wires one on my 94 s-10 and one set on my 97 formula. I will never own another set of accell wires they are cheeply made pos. Go with mallary, msd, or taylor wires I have heard good things on all those wires.

OK, I'm done fussing with the MSD's (good wire w/ cheap boots) and the accells (YUK A(S wires) and just got the Summit universal spiral core wires (Strait or 90, your choice deal) and they lasted longer than any other wire I tried so far and were alot cheaper.... They also give you the crimper (A real one, not like accell with that vise thing sh:t) although it's a made in taiwan job (Still a real functional crimper, i'm really amazed!)

They are like 31 bucks. Try 'em before you slam 'em. Don't get the solid core... Lemme get the cat..

Universal 90 boots : SUM-G925
Universal 180 boots : SUM-G826

They are blue in color. The hardest part about putting your own wires together is slipping the wire into the boot. Smear some lube on there and slider home... It will make your fingers sore when you're done... (Geezzzzz this sounds sick... No other way to describe this operation!)

The strippers (ummm) for the wire....


Ohh hell with it..
