Default Delteq ignition users, what wires etc are you using/recommend

I was checking my plugs, see picture, and then I ohmed my wires. 2 were quite a but different. The numbers above each plug is the wires resistance.
I am going to get new wires, and with the DELTEQ system, what would be a good wire for a waste spark ignition type. Also, should I put some shielding on the wires?

Yes, you are going to want shielded wires if its still a street car. I actually had a custom set of 9mm reds made for my delteq setup. I suspect your plug problems will clear up when you replace the wires. I'm currently running NGK TR55 and it works great for N/A.

Thanks. I always run the NGK, they just worked well throughout the years.
ANy recommended shielding/brand of wires, size?
I had Taylor 8mm and cut them myself.
The waste spark ignitions put some energy out, and I dont want crossfire, but the way a DELTEQ is arranged, the wires are close.

It won't matter how close the wires are positioned as long as you have a good wire. I would just do a set of Taylor 10mm and cut everything yourself if you can't have someone pre-fab the wires.

This is how I routed my 9mm and never had a problem:

I have a set of 10mm Taylor 409s already in route, already cut to fit.
Will these be alright.
