not trying to hijack your thread but i was about to post the same question and didnt want two of the same thread. the only question that i would like to add is i am looking to run 10mm+ wires and was wanting to know if anyone knows of hold downs/wire looms that work for wires this large. i want to run them next to the valve covers not under the headers. TIA

I went with "over the valve cover MSD 8.5 wires" and they are really nice.....I used Moroso wire looms and MSD seperators..... now I saw at the speed shop a complete set of Moroso spark plug wires and looms and distributor cap that is really nice looking. Just remember that where you have the number 1 sparkplug wire on the distributor will determine if the custom sets fit well or not....i had to have one shorter wire made to make mine fit right...not a problem but something to consider and as you can see that for the number 8 plug wire i almost need to get a shorter one for there also...

i use the Moroso Blue Max wires and love them. anybody have any experience with some of the real low resistance wires. Moroso makes some "racing" wire with about 40 ohms/ft i think. MSD does too. are these worth it for street use or are you buying problems with radio interference if you go to them? are the performance gains noticeable.

I put in a set, might have been blue max, where one end is factory crimped and the other you do yourself. Use your ohm meter and check the wires befor starting. I had to redo one of the factor ends, they had broke the spiral wire when they crimped it.
The spiral wound wires are pretty good with the radio, I like them.
