Default Best plug wires?

What are the best plug wires to use on a stock 79' L48?Someone put aftermarket on in the past and although it looks and runs nice I want to use stock style wires and run them inside the stock shielding.

AC-Delco 608D I believe. Original equipment is the only way to go on a stock set up like you have.

I will NEVER run my wires under the stock shielding that holds them
against the block. When I pull a set out of there, they were totally
soaked in oil and swelled to twice the diameter. IMO - a bad idea.

However, if going for NCRS points, etc ... well, Al pretty much
summed it up: Go totally original. You really don't need extra thick
insulation/etc for a stock setup.
