What plug wires are you using?

I need to replace my plug wires (I think they're OE). I want an upgrade from stock, and I need a set with snap-on leads. What do you use?

Are the MSD wires made for snap-on lead plugs?

Ya I was gonna say those Accel's also.
I sold an almost new set to 12a79 and switched over to MSD 8.5 and to be honest the only difference I can tell is in the Idle.
Alittle Smoother.
I'm also running the MSD Blaster HVC High-Vibration Coils and when I get on Her she really responds. Those Coils really made a difference.

Il stick to the best plugs ever made...ngk's, so thats what i use for wires too. 8mm "racing type" wires. *reg 175 cdn* .....hahah 55 cdn because they had been sitting on the shelf for 6 months. Made a cleaner burn on my plug and runs alot smoother. I still need some new coils.

My own weapon of choice as well. Stuff never seems to burn out. The set on "Red" Rex (I just got it painted DC Solar yellow...lol) is actually 10 years old and still completely flexible and the engine is strong plus an mpg king at 20 mpg in city driving with a stock Nikki, stock exhaust.

OK, here's a better question. Where do you BUY your plug wires?
I've spent hours searching the web, can't find the ones you're talking about (at least, not for my FB, anyway). Don't say 'Racing Beat'. I can't get their web page to load on my crappy computer.
I've hunted all over the Grand Strand (here). So far as I can tell, there's no good source of upgrade FB parts in this Godforsaken state (SC). Never dreamed it would be such a challenge just buying plug wires! Oh heavenly muses, send me some help!!

Magnacore 10.5MM from Mazdatrix.
Cost about 75 bucks,but theyve lasted for years and years.They have no issues firing my direct fire,MSD 2nd gen TII engine.Its a good idea to pack the boots with dielectric grease if your gonna upgrade the ignition system.I had some spark leakage near the plugs before I filled the boots up with DG.
