why so big of a wire? Are you racing this engine at light speed? Most of us use 8.5 and they are great. MSD and Edelbrock have a straight boot end and are good sets

Spark plug wires are also easy enough to make your own custom set. The crimp tool is pretty inexpensive (well many are some can get pricey). However, once you buy a crimp tool and if you get the kind with interchangeable dies you can properly crimp just about any type of connector you could imagine in the future.

If you want one custom set, just order a universal kit with the right spark plug ends factory crimped. In the right wire size and type of course. A spool is too much wire. Hope this is helpful.
You install the distributor ends.

I'm curious what distributor cap and coil you would use to accept a 10.5 wire? Stock were 7mm, and yes I have forced 8mm wire into the stock size cap, mostly because the car came with them.
