Spark Plug Wires?

Can't get a set of wires at all here in town for my 1980 Ford truck. The parts store can order in a set of Taylor wires which will run about $95. Not sure if Taylor are recommended or not. I've heard of Bosch, Prestolite, Motorcraft and Denso. What are some of the better wires?

I have been using Bosch plug wires for 2+ years. They fit very well and are now working with a MSD unit with the plugs gapped @ .052". They were approximately $35 @ Auto Zone.

You can't go wrong with the Motorcraft wires.

Yeah. From what I've heard, it's best to stick with Motorcraft for plugs and wires.
