My 71 cutlass has a new life

My 1971 Cutlass Supreme is completed and ready to go. I bought the engine, which to my satisfaction, already has a mild cam, the 350 turbo transmission, the W-27 Aluminum 10-bolt Differential, and complete Magnaflow exhaust system from my mechanic's 1972 442, all with only 55,000 miles! My car had 262,000 miles. It rides like a new car. I'm just not used to the loud engine and exhaust! I would like to replace my Accel spark plug wires, which are at lest 10 years old. Can anyone recommend a good brand? I was thinking about Mallory or Taylor. Or should I stay with Accel? Thanks to everyone for all their help!

Measure the resistance in your plug wires. If they are good you don't need to replace them.
FYI you don't have a W27 aluminum 10 bolt differential. They were a 1 year only in 1970 for the 12 bolt. You likely have a reproduction W27 carrier cover on the back of yours. Looks good though and will increase the amount of gear oil you carry back there. Those fins also help with cooling.
