So, anyone have any preference for a particular composition of spark plug wire? Hypalon? silicone? any rationale? Thanks for any input. Mike
Ignition wires

the sets for e9 & e3 from Kingsbourne are best imho.

Mike, Just make them up from bulk H/T wire, unless your ceramic ends are damaged, you can reuse them so that only leaves the wire and the cap ends, both cheap to buy bulk. Probably cost you 25 bucks for all. Or call me
Thanks, Rick
Thanks, Rick
Will do, thanks Rick!
to add, I have noticed that the original type tube that the wires feed through and fasten to the valve cover seems to have been replaced, in new ignition wire sets, with a boxed- shaped column and just does not look right. At least in my '72. Anyone else noticed this?

Mike ,Walloths sell the wiring tube 12121351194. Good idea to get the rubber "O" rings for the ignition leads too...or perhaps local supplier might be cheaper ; I agree that the square type cover does not look "right" . Simon
The sets from Kingsbourne can be disassembled and fed through the original round tube, that's what I did.
++! on Kingsborne. Ward the owner, is a fun and knowledgable to talk to Kiwi

Anyone running the "universal " Pertronix leads ? ( #706101) ... I have upgraded with Pertronix coil, 123 Ignition and need a new set so looking at options that have "stock" look (bearing in mind I'm in OZ ). Cheers, Simon
Kingsbourne on all my cars. Best bang for the money...........only time I listened to Bert P.
Thank you Rob!!
+++ on the Kingsborne.
Definitely cheaper than what I bought at bavauto.com
