I bought some Accel 8.8 spark plug wires at a car show. I run HEI on my 74 GMC. I have a feeling the wires are for a points distributor. Does accel make 8.8 spark plug wires for points?? if they do how will it affect your engine if you put them on a HEI system??

HEI plug wires won't fit on a points cap.... same goes for the other way around.
So if they'll properly plug into your cap... you're good to go.

HEI uses female ends at both ends, Points use a male end at dist side.

If your running headers use Accel 7071. They'll hold up to the heat, my only problem with them is they only come in yellow.
