Default Which Spark Plug wires for new Distributor...

Well i think i have my dist. picked with thanks to Tom. It is the Acc-59107(summit). Or jeg's part # 110-59107; HEI. I'm gonna pick up a set of wires with it too, and i was wondering what y'all would reccomend. I don't want to go overboard, but i don't want a crappy wire either. Which wire is best, and what fit do i exactly need? The ones i have on now are angled on both sides i think.

After i get all this, everything is coming together. Including Carb/Manifold/Dist, wires, sparkplugs, and Headers. There go my chances at NCRS :D j/k.
Looking forward to getting together with all you NC C3ers (and others) this sunday! Ciao!!


Thanks for everyone's help all this time!

ps... Tom i think i'm gonna squeeze some headers into my budget aswell. Goodbye Heat riser. :flag

Hi Jenny.

I have a set of 8mm taylor's I forget which model but I've had them for a few years and they still work and still look good. They have a silicone boot at the sparkplug end which is molded on the wire. The silicone stands up to the heat great,not cracked, discoloured or anything.

At only 50 ohms a foot, the MSD's are the way to go.
