Spark plug wires

Over the winter I want to freshen up the engine bay of the Dart and want to fit some more original looking plug wires ( ie black ), but still want a decent lead, good 8mm. They also need to have right angle plug boots to clear the headers.

Has anyone got any suggestions of a good set of leads ( preferably already made up as I am too lazy to make them up.)

MSD 8.5's, yeah you have to make them but they are superb. Oh BTW you get a cool little crimping tool to make life easier for you :P

Thanks Alex, yeah I think my mate has them on his 32 Ford roadster, saw them today when I went round to see his new toy, the Mosher Belvedere wagon, and they do look the business.

Ahh, that wagon is cool, saw it at the Nats ! I have the leads and they are nice, takes a while to build them but you can route them really well that way, I can do them a a couple of hours on a big block, small blocks are a bit easier.
Chris at WASP usually has them at a good price, tell him I sent ya :)

I have recently bought an (expensive) Accell Spark Plug lead crimping tool. It works brilliantly - you are welcome to borrow it, or I can bring it to the NEC and do your leads for you there if you want. Or when the Durango comes up for a service ?

Thanx Pete,
May well take you up on the offer, by the way let me know your options on dates for work on Durango.
