I would probably recommend the 12.99 SMP set thst rock auto sells. I have them on my car and they work well
I've bought the lectric limited $90 date coded Packard wires and thry lasted a year. The car was surging and wouldn't take any power. Literally fell on its face like it had a 3k rpm chip installed. Never again

Will need an HEI distributor cap. But can order a different MSD 8.5mm set with stock distributor caps.

Napa Belden. They are still life time warranty and they are the correct length to route them through all the ignition shielding as OEM. They are 7mm so they fit properly in the ignition shielding. Change the plugs while you already there. I went with NGK plugs.

Talking about spark plug wires . Does anyone use heat resistant wraps on their spark plug wires and spark plug boots to protect from the engine's high heat?
Some Pics would be great to see how you solved this problem.

My 350 Blueprint Engine does not have the needed support for these brackets. I ordered some 1,800 degree heat resistant boots from Summit Racing. That should more than do the job of protecting the MSD spark plug boots.

Did you notice the link to the traditional style of heat shields which I posted? If you run conventional rams horn manifolds, they are what you want.

Thanks, Jim. Bought these boot/wire wraps on Summit Racing. Good for heat up to 1,800 degrees. Comes with S.S zip ties for extra security. Metal is a conductor of heat and makes a poor insulator.
