I'm ready to buy some new plugs and wires so I'm just trying to see what's been working for everyone else. I usually use the Accel U-Grove plugs and Accel wires. I'm buying for my '66 Chevelle with 396 BB, T400 with 3500 stall, 4.10 posi, and 26x12.50 Mickey Thompsons. The engine is set up with a Holley 850, Edelbrock Torker intake, Hooker Comp headers, 3" exhaust, 2 chamber Flowmasters, and a Comp Cams Magnum series cam. The car is set up for stop light racing and driving to work every once in a while. I was thinking about getting the Accel shorty plugs this time.

Let me know what's the best for my money, Thanks.

I run AC Delco plugs and Borg Warner or Champion spark plug wires (8MM) for a mid 70's 454/HEI application.
