Default Plug Wires

I want a new set of plug wires for my '74....
I am running an HEI distributor....
I don't want "stock" wires that run through the shields....through the motor mount and all that.... WAY too long some of them!

I want something the right length....maybe like a Camaro set ? or .....????


Suggestions ? I tried the cut to length one but they're a PITA....

Mr J.
I went AC Delco but I have a big block so I don't have all that shielding to fiddle with Amen!
Taylor makes plug wires. They are very good you could check with them regarding availale sets.
I have used their wires on my motorcycles and have been very happy.
They come in all colors as well as basic black

Just get a set that is made to go over the valve covers for a 350. You can go to summit racing or jegs and keep picking your choices down to a 350 over the valve, etc. and there will be many different products to choose from. I went to MSD over the valve covers and they fit great.

I have used both the custom fit and the universal make your own MSD and have had zero problems. However, Taylor and accel are both good.

Livewires here too, on a DUI also. Sure wish they were long enough to go through all the shielding. Corrected dist. cap may help. I took some goof off and removed the labeling, looks much better. Also removed the sticker from the coil cover.
I don't like labels...
