Gentlemen & gals, which brand of spark plug wires is considered to be the best all around (street/track)? How about "stock" looking? :yesnod:     Opinions please. Thanks.

MSD super conductor 8.5 mm comes in red or black, no it does not look like stock but the black is close and is much better. For the cap and rotor I use Accel cause it has brass contact areas , thats for the mopar dist. That comes tan or black the black is vented.

I have those already they came with my Charger. The 440 came with a new MSD 8387 distributor and the wires are red and fat :rotz:. I just got a Mopar Performance distrib tan cap w/elec. ign and the next thing I need to get is the wires. The MSD 8387 was hitting the new INDY EZ heads, it wont clear the heads, so I can't use the MSD distrib. I was trying to go more with the original look but high performance.

A good wire has to be fat, the skinning ones leak voltage. MSD has wires for a stock mopar dist to. Moroso makes great wire also but they are blue , you can get a sleeve for them in lots of colors.They even have 9-11 mm wires so those MSD aren't the thickest wire out there.

Are 1968 440 wires orange with black boots?

Those look sweet and if Summitt racing has them they can't be that bad.

Just 6T9 CHGR

I believe the orange wires were the replacement set.  The originals should be 7mm black with yellow date coding....
