Since I'm installing a GB EI dizzy, MSD Blaster 2 coil, new plugs, new alt & voltage regulator in my 1966 R16, I figured the existing 7mm plug wires should go to. Gary Boone suggested the Bosch Premiums. I'm also partial to the look of these:

Thanks.

Since your car is not stock it really doesn't matter which wire you run. I would go with atleast 8mm.

From Gary:
------------------------------------
The wires on Andrew Murphy's are MSD Super Conductors, which is what I have on my 2000. If you choose them, you either have to order a bulk kit and assemble the wires to fit or order them from Ross at Sports Imports, who makes them from bulk to fit the roadsters. I think his price is $65 a set.
------------------------------------

I just went up to eBay, and confirmed that they are $65 a set. Check eBay store for "Sports Imports-Datsun Parts."

I guess Super Conductor = Super Price. Those will have to wait. For now, I'll just go w/ the Bosch Premiums for $19.

I have the MSDs, they work great, if you get the bulk set, you can make 2 sets out of one. They come with enough ends to make a second set, and the excess that you will cut off will be long enough to make the second set. If you got the bulk 8 cylinder set it could be a real deal.

Just a thought,
Will

Thanks, Will, but I'm just gonna pick up the Bosch Premium wires tomorrow for $19 instead of $65 for the MSD Super Conductors. That's $45 I can easily spend elsewhere on the Roadster.

Maybe later I'll get the pretty red spark plug wires.

Other suggestions I received from happy owners are:

Pete,
Thats not a bad idea, I looked for the BOSH ones and nobody here could get them, or was uninterested in spending the time to find them. $65 is easily spent somewhere else.

Have fun,
Will
