Welcome Monte,
The best wires i have experienced are Magnecore.
I highly recommend MSD super conductors if you can get the pre COVID price. I have experienced great price to performance ratio.
May the torque be with you!

I just got some Summit branded 8mm wires for my LT4. Still putting them on (what a PITA) so I don't know how well they are going to work out yet. LOL

I got burned really bad doing that when I was young and dumb. Never suspected the issue was my new plug wires and spent a **** ton of money replacing coils and ignition module. Finally paid a shop diagnostic fee to find out my new Autozone plug wires were bad.

Buying the cheapest found. Could equal extremely inferior products. That will equal doubling your time, price, labor. Now if Tom, ment purchasing known quality brands for the "cheapest" price. That is fine.
I do not promote purchasing the most expensive. Just the best quality!

What ever the auto parts store has. It's not like changing wires on an HEI engine is that time consuming. Also, if you change wires, then have a problem....might ohm the wires. IDK....works great for me and I have money for other things that actually make the car faster.

I took that to mean that for the money, the car will perform better (as a "performance modification"). Which, it won't.

A decent set of spark plug wires from your local Auto Parts store is all that you need for these cars, if they are stock. Keep them routed well away from exhaust and AIR hotspots and you'll be fine. Allowing them to rest on anything hot is definitely a no-no. Use wire looms to keep them at their best.

Where can I buy the ignition wire clip set to keep the wires away from exhaust manifolds and hot pipes for my 89? I know 2 of the 4 plastic clips that mount on bracket just below valve cover are broken and I know when I try and open the other clips, some will break. Car still has original wires on it with 102K miles. I just replaced the plugs and was lazy and cheap on buying wires because they look good from outside (I know, don't say it) but I can actually hear some arching, get shocked when I make sure boots are pushed onto plugs all the way and it runs rough when damp out until the heat from engine dries everything up under the hood.
