spark plug wires

Hi everyone,
I just purchased some spark plug wire guides or brackeks that hold the wire all neat. However my current wire will be to short I brought some excell wire and they were to short also. What wire are you guys running who have these brackets, I guess they would have to be pretty long.
Thanks in Advance
Jaye

I have a 71 302 w/8mm wires

I used a Taylor 8mm wire kit. The spark plug ends were already on it, molded in. The coil ends were not attached and all the wires were long. I cut each to its length, then crimped the ends on. Remember to slide the boot on first - kinda like brake lines.

Of course then I changed my wire routing, so mine don't fit right either.

Same thing I did. I bought a nice kit of Accel blue wires. This was the best option I came across, as nothing else fit right. Doesnt take much time at all, and you can make them as long or short as you want.
