I sure do. I've had almost zero problems with Delco wires over the years. I would even be using them on a modified engine.

Do you have any special needs? In my case, I used MSD because I had a deal on the wires and crimpers and the distributor was not stock. I changed to the small cap and wanted the wires to be more than just hanging near the headers so it had to be custom length. Unfortunately they were thicker than stock so it might be an issue for you but I run it on the top of the valve covers. If it is stock position, MSD, Accel or Delco, whichever is cheaper.

Plug wise, I went with NGK per the builder's recommendation and so far it has been ok. I don't get the iridium ones. Just good ones and toss them every year with the cap and rotor.
