I used Lincoln HEI spark plug wires. They are HI Temp, 8.6mm, 45 deg angle spark plug ends.

Found the wires at my local U-PULL-It wrecking yard. They charge by a set of eight, $10.00, went through several cars to find the longest wires or lenghts required, cleaned then to find any cracks or burns. Purchased wire looms that fitted to lower valve cover holes, keeps the wires above the headers. As long as you are at the wrecking yard, collect an assortment of the black plastic wire seperators (2-3-4 wires), use these from the HEI to the valve cover wire looms.
