On a factory engine, nothing wrong with a set from the parts store. Packard Electric, etc.

I've getting a set of universal 8mm wires from Summit coming tomorrow, I should have them install this weekend and will tell how they work.

I would go with a spiral core type wire, both accel and taylor make decent set that does not cost an arm or a leg.

I believe those are the Taylor wires. Summit just repackages them.

On a stock motor factory replacments will suffice. I do not like the radio interferance I get with some factory type wires. Taylor, MSD, and moroso make the best sets out there.
