Background: Every plug wire set (IMO) is either over priced (More than I want to spend), or never fits how I want. Did some Googling, and found an obscure post on the HAMB mentioning that Auto Zone carries a DIY set of wires in their Duralast (Store) brand. 2 year warranty. Cost? $14.99.

They aren't $90 MSD wires.



Looks like they have no outer burn shield like an MSD does. They are 8mm. Set is long enough to route the wires over a tall (M/T) set of valve covers on a 460 and into the OEM looking hold downs I mounted to the covers. Came with both types of ends (points and Duraspark style) a set for the coil wire, and an extra set of clips.

I had already done MSD wires on another vehicle in the past, so I had the tool already to crimp the wires. This set does not come with the tool.

#1600 = 180 degree plug boots.
#1601 = 90 degree boots.

The boots are typical parts store boots.



For a naturally aspirated daily driver type build, worth a shot, IMO.

Hopefully this helps someone.

 

Looks good! I used to make my own plug wires all the time and still have the crimp tool to prove it.

The only concern that I have is that the wire insulation may be very poor and only last for a few months. I went through several sets of 'Standard Ignition Products' wires (used to be a good brand) back about 20 years ago and they would only last a year or so before leaking voltage badly (In a completely dark place you could watch the spark jump to the outside of the wire and then down the wire for a few inches and then it would jump back inside, it was fascinating). I finally spend the big bucks for a set of silicone-coated Accel wires and never had any problems after that.
