I used wires for a ford from summit
ford racing wire M12259-C460
one wire is a bit longer, these are 135 spark boots for the large cap distributor
was checking a misfire.... got zapped on cyl #5... I guess Taylor blue is not my next purchase... will check Flint's recommendation... unless ... straight boots for 5 and 3 angled at 45/135 seems like a better fit for our V8.
Edit: rechecked installation date, it was 6 years and 20Kmiles ago... not too bad... as wires are really getting cooked under the hood.

Thank you Flint, I installed one of the old MSD wire, it snaps better than the taylor on the HEI terminal, and it still has low resistance, I had to change the MSD set because some of the wires got rubbed the wrong way and lost insulation and a couple were cooked by the exhaust leaks.

Interesting... got zapped with the older MSD wire... So decided to put a new spark plug champion 404 , no more zapping, the old spark plug looks decent, a bit of rust on the body, but the porcelain is good, with no visible cracks, I cleaned it when I did the MSD wire change.... a bit stumped.... I decided to test the resistance, it test at 11Kohms.... the 2 new that I have are 152 Kohms... tested an old set of 405 from the 86 project which ranged from infinite (gasoline washed by the bad cam) I have any values in kohms of 12, 15, 22, 33 .
Any thoughts are welcome, I should probably start a new thread now!
