Default Help deciding on parts

Which motor mounts-
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/PTP-7-512BL/
or
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/PTP-7-512/
Looks like the only difference is color, but IDK for sure

Spark plug wires
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/TAY-84044/
or
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/MSD-32819/
or
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/TAY-51044/

I am thinking black MM's and MSD wires, but if the $28.99 Taylors are decent i'll go with them.

Oh yeah here is a kit with the MM's and a trans mount, yeah poly trans mount will prolly get some different opinion on but its a decent price for the package. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/PTP-7-1908/

I've heard varying opinions about MSD wires...some people love them, some have nothing but trouble with them. In general though, a plug wire is a plug wire, so just pick the color and brand you like the most.

It's been mentioned that the red vs black poly mounts are actually different materials (I'm assuming people mean different durometer hardness between the two) but I've never seen anything that confirms that, nor was it readily apparent when I compared a set of red vs black sway bar bushings.

yeah I thought I remembered something about the difference between the red and black ones being one stiffer than the other or something to that nature. I am kinda scared of the poly trans mount. I really like the price of the Taylors, they are half as much as the MSD's, but I do want a more "performance" oriented wire + I like the red wires better.

There's not going to be any difference with wires other than color, especially with coil-on-plug wires being so short.

Yeah i've decided to go with the MSD's. Now I just gotta decide on the MM's and whether I should do the trans mount when I do the MM's.
