Gold MemberI'm looking for a recommendation on what type of ignition wires to buy for my 350 L82 1979 Vette.
I have 8mm premium wires on it now but they need replacing and these tend to back out at times. Any help would be appreciated.

The last brand I remember buying was Sorenson which were spiral wound stainless wire on a carbon core but I don't know if they are still around. But they were good wires.

For my money it would be Taylor wires.They have the lowest
amount of OHM resistance (about 50 ohms/ft.) and are heat resistant somewhat.
Locate all wire suppliers to find resistance per foot and use the lowest...Lower the ohm's resistance more voltage to the plug and better ignition..

Vette(s): 1972 conv, 4-speed, 350, 200hp, numbers match, rally wheels, war bonnett yellow w/white top. good condition, nice driver.
Street fire are also low resistance. Seem to work well. If you do a cross fire cap, Taylors work very well.
Thanks all for recommendations
