Hey everyone

I want to replace my spark plug wires with nice red ones , and route them from above my longtube headers.
I've got a 77 so I think it's HEI style, or doesn't that really mather for spark plugs?

What are good replacements? I'm from Europe.
Not to expensive... I'm not a racer, just a street driver...

It is important to get the right end on the wires that connects to the distributor cap. They sell wires for your car at Summit racing, $85 for 8.5 mm MSD Super Conductor wires in Red. $32 for Summit Brand 8 mm wires in Red.

I have used MSD "Super Conductor" wires on my C3 since I bought it in 1991. My C3 is a 1968 L-71 with the 427 but with the long tube headers. The headers can melt the spark plug sockets if they make contact so be sure to buy a spark plug loom which will allow you to route the wires easily.

Good Luck and have a Very Merry Christmas!

Are there good DIY sets? I like making things myself for a cheaper price.

jim2527

Eh. My MSD set was DIY but I had to buy the special crimp tool. Tools been in the drawer for 8 years. Wire set plus tool cost more than a stock set of wires.

Correct. I make my own wires, and have two expensive crimpers. You cannot do decent wires without the correct tool.

As long as we're on wires....

What are your opinions on ohms per foot?
MSD super conductor 50 ohms,
DUI Livewires 300,
Taylor Street Thunder 350,
Taylor thundervolt 40,
Accel Pro 25 25 ohms,
Moroso ultra 40 40ohms,
MSD Streetfire 500

Accel SuperStock Spiral under $60.

Lots of hype there. I would be more concerned with quality and insulation rating.

Kettering works best on wire, but you get lots of EMI and RFI .

HEI/ electronic likes a resistance wire on the secondary side. Mike would know better why.
