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 Ev

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

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!!!

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!!
