Autolite 46's (next step hotter than stock), and modified used Accel wires, DUI distributor. Stock Advance Auto wires burned out in about 2 months. Oh, .060" gap too.

Jared's got it right, though. The stock motorcrafts and the standard autolites don't seem to stand up to the higher voltages (so don't even think of putting in generics). I had a set of Borg-Warner NASCAR blue 8mm wires after the MSD coil upgrade. That was over 50K miles ago and they were in truck when I sold it. No cracks. I used Autolite Platinum AP-46 plugs gapped at .055".

Sheesh, two of ya's from SE CT? Scary

For my '89 (stock) I use the standard autolites and motorcraft wires. For my '85 (Hi-6 w/LX92 coil) i've got the standard plugs with accel 9mm wires.

I just got the Accel tuneup kit, it's Accel 8.8mm wire, cap, rotor and Autolite plugs for only $60.
