Default Plugs & Wires

Okay, I want to put in new plugs & wires. My car runs a little hot so perhaps extra sdhielded wires are in order (the wires are the "Under header" type).

So....


I know this issue has been beaten to death but I just want honest advice not silly hyperbole.

Here's the ride:

1980 C3
350 cu in.
Edelbrock EPS intake
Edelbrock Performer Carb
3/4 cam in the top-end
3inch. exhaust


What plugs & wires do you think would keep the rig tip-top!?!

you are not talking an extemely radical motor here so you really don't need to get too fancy on your wires.

go to your local auto parts house or local chevy dealer to the parts dept and order up the Delco 508N ignition wires.

i went with msd superconductors, the kind where u make them so the length is custom. it looks good. youre not going to be able to tell that much difference(if any at all) but they look clean and gave my engine a whole different look
