Hi guys, have seen a few discussions here on spark plugs (and as a result I have picked up some NGK XR4's), but have not seen the same for plug wires (sorry if I missed them in my brief searching). Have a 72 Cutlass Supreme 350, and wondering what a good set of wires would be. Since the engine is basically stock (and as such not really high-performance), I'm guessing most will probably work fine, but I was thinking more along the lines of proper length/fit, etc. So, what have you guys had good luck with?

Most decent wire sets are do-it-yourself kits that will require you to custom fit them to your motor. 8mm would be the minimum thickness I'd go with, but there are heavier wire sets available - Accel, MSD, Taylor are all fairly popular performance upgrade choices.

Points style or HEI distributor?
For points any 7mm precut set listed for Oldsmobile sbo will work from your local auto parts store. Male ditributor end.
For HEI, I like Taylor Spiro pro 8mm sets. Female distributor end.

I think Lectric Limited can set you up with an excellent product.

Standard Packard style OEM wires will work well with points or step up to Taylor Spiral core wires. The factory crimp is what I like on both ends. The make your own wires **** me off when you go to remove the wire after its baked on after a year and the DIY crimp always pulls off the end of the wire...fun...and I have the correct crimping tool.
