Default Plug wires
Looking for recommendations on plug wires to use with canton valve covers and headers, I'm after performance and fit. 94 Firebird

Contact my local friend "99BlancoSS" and have him set you up w/ some MSD 8.5mm Super Conductors. He will get you hooked up on pricing.

Why 8.5mm wires? and what spark plugs are recommended for stock-bolt on cars?

More insulation equals more heat resistance and less chance of arcing.

TR55's is what I always install on my Camaro's and those of my customers.

Excellent, how many miles do they need be changed. And what are the pros cons of iridium plugs? Thanks for the info.. its time for a tune-up.

How well do the MSD wires fit, will they hit the headers?

What headers are you running? Depends also if you want the OTVC or standard.
I ran them w/ Mac Mids and burnt up a couple sets. I would suggest the OTVC.

I'm running LPP headers, can I run the wires OTVC with the canton valve covers?
