Default Plug wires for T.I. Distributor ignition

I have a 1970 Corvette LT1 with T.I. ignition. Does anyone know if I should run a special type GM plug wire.
Thanks

Hi qt,
Cars with TI used the same Packard Noise Supression spark plug wires as cars with points ignition.
Reproduction wire sets are available and there are certainly other choices to choose from.
Regards,
Alan

Alan is correct, and the standard plug wires are 7mm. However I use a 8mm HEI wire set intended for an HEI C3 Corvette. I changed the boots & clips on the Dist. end to match the old style cap.

With the 8mm I figure I have more "spark" protection. I have had the same set of Accel Spiral all black wires on there for at least 20 years now.
