MSD 8.5mm wires here. They were a cut-to-fit kit for an LT1 car (90deg. boots), and I bought straight boots separately.

The boots are a really tight fit over the wires. I've made up a few sets of Taylor wires in the past, and found them much easier than the MSD's.

I went with the cut to fit Taylor race 409 wires. I've personally always had good luck with Taylor wires.

When making new plug wires. Is it about the same as crimping a coax cable, or is there more to it than that?

I'd say it's a bit easier than messing with coax cable as far as the splicing/stripping goes.

The hard part is working with the boots. They are usually a really tight fit. A little GOJO handcleaner makes a nice lubricant that won't harm anything and wipes right off when you're done.
