Plug wire recommendations.....

for my 65 L79? 7 or 8mm? Anything else? Prefer black if possible.

I put Lectric Limited dated repro wires on my '67 327/300 and on my '69 Z/28 several years ago, and they work just fine; for other non-original project cars, I use MSD Heli-Core wires. I get the "universal" set, and custom-cut each wire (with the tool that comes in the kit) after routing and clipping them neatly; can't stand to see the spaghetti mess of iridescent bright-colored too-long wires you see on most cars at shows - it's not that hard to do it right so it looks neat.

John, I have to agree, I don't like the spaghetti look either, the best installations in my mind are the ones where you don't even notice the wires.

I'll look for the set you mentioned. thanks

You can get 8mm Black wires from Jegs or other dealers currently I have Taylors on mine and they fit the length required for the the shielded routing. I just went and pulled the receipt 47.99 p/n TAY-74005 from Summit... They have worked great for the past year... Dave..

another option is the pertronix stock look black wires.
i have them on my 67 now for about four years.
used to have misfires with others, like the yellow brand and stock delco brands.
