I like my Taylor Spiro Pro wires. I replaced the old Accel 8.8mm Super Stock wires with the Taylors and it woke up the motor quite a bit.

I agree with Alex, I have the Taylor's also, and they perform great. I have tried Accel and some of the others. I like the Taylor's. JMO

Taylor Spiro Pro wires like everyon above

they were $53 from summit, cut to fit.
they also offer them in ANY color imaginable, i just went with black since im not positive on what color schemes my trucks going to have, probably black paint with blue interior though.

I have had a hell of a time finding wires that are long enough. I have an HEI dist so the recommended stock ones dont work. Finally I used Autozones lifetime waranty wires for a 454 1982 1 ton chevy truck. Straight boots not the 90deg ones. Perfect length for the 350 with HEI. $35

I run a spiral core wire,Accel 300+ wires at this time(about $60 a set through summit or Jegs). When I installed the Hooker headers,I had to replace 1 wire(90 boot wouldnt work on #5). I picked up an MSD at the local speed shop,& was really liked it better than the Accel. I dont really care what they cost,I run cheap stuff on my daily drivers.........but that longhorn is "My baby".......69

I had 8mm MSD's on the 92 and the damn things burnt up from the inside out out. Showed a few people and they couldn't believe it, never saw a wire do that before, maybe a bad batch but none the less. I run good old AC wires, work fine and are high temp compatible. I think I am returning or selling the MSD's I have for 69.

I used wires off of a Lincoln HEI, 8.6mm, silicon core, 45 angle spark plug ends.

Went to the local U-PULL-IT, search several cars to find the lenght of wires I needed, cleaned , inspected the wires for cracks and burns. Collected several sets of the hard plastic wire separators, The total cost $10.00.

Went to the local auto parts store, purchase a set of wire looms that attach to the bottom holes on the valve covers. This keeps the wires above the headers.

Works with my Corvette Hi-Perf HEI.

I have a 72 Cheyenne 10 with a V8 350 and a TH-350 auto-tranny.
Ochre/White/Ochre
Runs well... working on body.
Plan to get painted weekend before memorial day weekend.
Planned to be done March 7 when I turned 16. Didn't happen. Chose to do better job and be behind schedule instead of 1/2 doing it and it looking like junk.
