C1 Spark Plug Wire Recommendation

[MikeH]

I would appreciate any recommendations on a good plug wire set that offers good performance and looks kinda original (i.e. is black). I have the Lectric Limited wires and have not been impressed. I also have a preference for wires that do not need to be cut to length. Maybe this is not a big deal but is just seems like it might lead to other failure modes.



Thanks in Advance,

yeah, those dated LL wires look nice, but can't take any heat before giving it up like a girl on prom night.

I too wanted a solid, plain black set, cut to length, and I think I ended up going with Petronix's "stock look" plug wire set, here is a page from Jegs on that product:

Delco wires

AC Delco outlets still sell TVRS plug wire set #508N. It's pre-cut for small block Corvettes with ignition shielding, and it costs about $25 locally.

Thanks for the responses. Do you think there are any significant differences between the Pertronix and the Delco wires?

Probably not that you'd ever notice with a street engine.

Is Delco still selling wires for big blocks as well?

just have to look, but I did for you and cannot find a reference, but their search function often overlooks parts still available, here is my ACDelco link for future reference in any event:http://www.acdelco.com/html/catalog/index_auto.htm
