Spark plug wire recommendations?
63 327/300. Stock points/coil. I bought a date coded set from Lectric Limited but had an issue with one of the plug connectors. I’m not impressed with the set from them as the impedance is right on the edge.
What brand do you folks recommend? I was thinking ones with the ceramic plug connectors but would like to have the stock wire color or black.
thank you!

Napa- Belden 700103. They are lifetime warranty and 7mm so they will fit under ignition shielding. These are precut and correct length to fit under your shielding with routing through all the shielding. Napa website list the wire lengths as well. Just installed these and love them. Cost roughly $43. Good luck.

I am running Standard Blue Streak 8.5mm silicone wires…. I forget the part number, but it was a standard pre-assembled kit for a C2 small block. Wires were plenty long enough for stock under the manifold routing.
because they are thicker, it was a little harder but I still used the factory brackets and grommets, plus I added more separators to keep the wires neat…
yeah, no radio shrouds, but I am fine with that.
wires are a little shiny, but black with black boots….
I think I picked them up through Summit…

I also agree with DLowe, Napa wires are made by Beldon and when I had my store I sold Beldon branded wires and had great success with them.

You can see the grommets have some gaps that won’t close due to the size of the wire…. The grommets are also snug in the brackets too…
