MC1of80 Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 I have MSD 8.8 wires with a/c sparkplugs in "Big Red" pertronix wires, cap, electronic ignition conversion, coil with a/c plugs in "Barn Find". Obviously the set up in Barn Find looks like stock. It all depends on the "look" you are going for. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chevy Dave Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Wanting my Monte to look as original as possible, but with a metal core, I bought Pertronix 708102 (for big blocks). These wires are 7mm black jacketed and have the spiral wound metal core that does not cause radio issues. Amazon prime had the best delivered price, $60.99 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott S. Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 I like the "shorter" NGK plugs just for header clearance and the Pertronix wires for the smaller boot ends at the plugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you, I'm also using an Accel Supercoil on an H.E.I. distributor, so you have to be mindful of what spark source you're using. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here, in the older cars. Newer vehicles (stock engines), I tend to put the OEM ones back in. Never Bosch plugs, unless you want misfire codes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They never held up the the hype. I ran into it before. People put plugs in themselves, car came to me with misfires. Had a hard time convincing them it was their new plugs, but after replacement, it ran fine. I think the first place I heard about them being bad was on the tech forums at I.A.T.N. Wasn't too long after that I experienced the problem, and was able to zero in on the fix pretty quick. Normally you would think, hey, new plugs, it can't be that. In the mean time you're chasing your tail... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
