Spark Plug Wires??

Well I am replacing the wires and plugs in my '78 f150 351M tomorrow...and wondered what you guys used for wires??? I called my local auto parts stores and I can not get the motorcraft durspark wires for my rig without ordering and waiting on them... I even called the ford stealership and they dont even sell them. Soooo... what kind do you guys use?? I have the standard distributor and ignition module...so nothing fancy.. I was gonna buy slightly better Motorcraft plugs vs the stock...I heard Autolite were decent...what about MSD, Accel, Bosch wires???

ordered my wires from summit racing theyre beautiful and tough so far. for plugs ive been running NGK, ive been having a lot better luck with them.

youll have to change plugs on a regular basis anyway... but on wires in my opinion better to get nice ones than anything else, otherwise keep the ones you have, just because they may be new doesnt mean theyll be better.

I got mine from summit too. I got the summit brand that you cut to length and put the end on yourself. Been on there a few years, I like them. I run autolite 25 plugs from Wal-Mart.

I run nothing but NGK plugs. The Autolite wires seem to be fairly decent.
