Its a stock 327 with a Pertronix Inginter II and Flamethrower coil. Plug wires have a 90 degree boot at the plug and need to have unfinished ends so I can custom size them, and must be 8 mm and black in color for stock appearance. I've used Taylors in the past, but before I get them again, I figured I'd ask.
Thanks

I use and like Pertronix black plug wires on my 350. They look like stock without the lettering, straight in at the dist like stock, etc. I think you can get them unfinished at one end but mine were pre made and I cut them to length. Try Summit.

Looks like to get the straight in dist terms and 90 deg plug boots you have to get the premade wires like I did. Cut to length versions have 90 terms both ends. Pertronix 7 mm spiral core "Stock Look" wires. Summit 708101. $52.99. That's what I used with my Pertronix 1 Ignitor and Flame Thrower coil. To get them to fit better I shortened several by removing the dist term, cut, and recrimp.

Currently running Taylor Spiros. I really like them and have only bought these for years.

But next change I will be going with Straubs wires to check them out.

NO, NO, NO NO, NO, more misinformation. "Packard 440 copper core", ONLY FOR POINTS IGNITIONS, NOT ELECTRONIC, that was not stated, but vitally important. .

Now, for electronic ignition systems, even electronic points low perf systems like PerTronix Ignitor, magnetic suppression, spiral or "Magna" core, and best to use 7 or 8 mm wire sets.

Since Borg-Warner makes virtually all the wire sets for just about everybody, I use B-W.

I'm very fond of the Taylor spiro pro wires. Their only downfall is primary tube proximity. If you're running headers and they're close to the plug, these may not work for you.
