What type of spark plug wire ?
 

What should I look for in a good wire set for SBC HEI setup ?

8mm + ?
150 ohms/foot ?
spiral ?
solid core ?

In other words, what combo provides the strongest spark
given all other factors the same ?

Thanks

MSD 8.8's.

Solid core used to be the best...but with modern eletronics, they are no longer needed and will not work with some newer marvels...besides the fact you would never hear your radio again

Why MSD 8.8 vs 10mm .... isn't bigger, better ?

I went with the Taylor spiral 8.5 MM in hot orange from Summit. They are great wires!!:D

I also run the taylor 8.5 and am very happy with then..

taylor spiro pros are excellent wires and teh moroso blue max wires are great as well. i am currently running taylors myself and have been for over 20k miles. i sell taylors to most everyone that comes into the speed shop and thats all we use at work for the most part on performance cars

I ordered the precut set for the hei corvette, I forget the brand, fit great works great. I got them from napa.

MSD UNIVERSAL SET COME'S WITH THE CRIMPER FOR THE ENDS
BE A MAN CUSTOM CUT THEM YOUR SELF

COME'S WITH 45'S AND BENDABLE STRIGHT BOOT'S TO GET THE RIGHT FIT..NO BURNING

MSD'S WITH TAYLORS LITTLE HEAT BOOTY'S...ARN'T THEY CUTE :D

Man, Do I feel left out. I've got Accel 8.8 MM and I like them. Maybe I'm just not as cool as you MSD and Taylor Guys. I actually HATE crimping my own spark plug wires. I always end up pulling them apart when I replace spark plugs!!!

Taylor 8.5 Spiro Pro's on mine also!:D Hey Rat, is that your engine? Looks sharp except for one thing the FRAM oil filter.:eek:

SILLY...THATS WHAT DIELECTRIC GREASE IS FOR...MAKE'S THEM SLIDE RIGHT OFF :D

JUST MAKE SURE YOU WASH YOUR HANDS BEFORE YOU PEE...COULD BE TO MUCH FUN :eek:

The last time I used dielectric grease it had dried out and crusted when I had pulled off the spark plug boots. Maybe it was just crappy grease!!
