I got a set of coils to install and need to find plug wires. All my local places only sell plug wire sets for specific applications (vehicles). Any suggestions would be appreciated, its always the small things that cause the biggest headache!

Look for a local hot-rod shop, they sell solid core plug wires usually by ACCELL. You can either get a small set like for a 4-banger volkswagen, or if you're lucky they sell it by the foot.Former owner, but I have NO PARTS LEFT!

For use with my Accels, I bought a set of cheapo wires for a V6 Camaro. They had the all the right ends but I did have to shorten and re-crimp them. All worked out good for less than $20.2H7 (79) owned since '89
3H3 owned since '06

To anyone who is interested and has time to read, this site has a wealth of info on wires. I have purchased from them and I've had an excellent transaction. IMHO You won't find a better wire. http://www.magnecor.com/1980 XS1100G "Dolly G" Full Dresser (with a coat of many colors
