jholmes217 65 Report post Posted August 6, 2011 I've always liked the old yellow Accel Super Stock wires myself. You can order them with different angle boots. They clean up easy with some hand cleaner also. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fordrevhead 29 Report post Posted August 7, 2011 well you could get the MSD wires or Taylors, they both come in red and match the MSD parts and are great quality; I have used both for many years. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

302coupe 10 Report post Posted August 7, 2011 (edited) I looked up wire reviews and Granatelli wires seem to be very low in ohms,anyone have any experience with em?Taylors are what i have now and they did the job decently until they got fried but ide like a real good set.One thing ive noticed is that a lot of the companies dont produce kits for 69 302's,only 1980's and up v8 5L's,could i buy a set that works for a v8 5L?

Max Power 74 Report post Posted August 7, 2011 .One thing ive noticed is that a lot of the companies dont produce kits for 69 302's,only 1980's and up v8 5L's,could i buy a set that works for a v8 5L? Probably not. Most the newer kits are for distributor caps that have male terminals, older cars have female terminals. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BuckeyeDemon 211 Report post Posted August 7, 2011 these are Taylor Spriro Pro cut to length. They have a 135 degree boot option like you're interested in (see pic). the stripper/crimper tool makes it very easy to do. if you screw up, they sell the bits and pieces.

Fordrevhead 29 Report post Posted August 9, 2011 I have the same loom brackets as buckeye on my fox body but in red to match the Taylor 9mm wires (looks great Buckeye btw). Check Summit Racing they have page after page of them online... try Taylor and Spectre brand. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
