Default MSD Plug Wires Question

Hey, I just have a quick question regarding replacing my MSD (32149) plug wires.

So my situation is I just bought a '95 t/a that has a full MSD ignition kit on it (opti/coil/plug wires/6A ignition control) and have since discovered 2 of the plug wires have been cut nearly in half by the serpentine belt, so I've been looking around for replacements for just the 2 wires but I can't for the life of me find a site that sells individual MSD 32149 wires.

So my first question would be is there anyone who knows where I can buy them without buying the entire set as that would be quite pricey.

The other thing I was curious about is, is there some reason I have to use the same brand wires to replace the ones that were cut? Because I saw Jegs sells a similar set (40225) for considerably cheaper but I am unsure if mismatching wires will cause problems.

Would appreciate any advice yall have. Thanks!

I had trouble finding individual MSD wires as well. But if you call them up or email them and ask how to order one or two wires, they'll sometimes just send them to you for free. They did that for me on a couple occasions.

I would not use another brand unless the impedance value match, which I doubt they do (MSD is around 50 ohm/foot). It wouldn't hurt to just get the car back on the road, but could cause issues in the long run.

Thanks for the reply!

Free? Now that's a price I can afford! I will definitely look in to that.

Preciate you answering my second question as well. Ya the impedance difference was the thing that concerned me. That's just what I needed to hear.

Wow MSD is my new favorite company!
I called them, explained my situation, and they overnighted 2 new replacement plug wires completely free of charge.
