For the MSD owners....IGNITION WIRES?
Lets hear what type of ignition cables you are running with your MSD set up.
Over the years i have nearly run out of options for suppression type ignition cables that will last more than a couple years with a high output ignition.
Are there any that will hold up or do we toss a set every winter?
Thanks

If you are talking about plug wires, I use the MSD 8.5 custom wires and make them myself. I am running a set now that are two years old with no issues. I occasionally have to replace a connector because they break or get bent up from taking them on off.

I run the Taylor 135 degree wires because the 351 in the engine compartment is a tight fit. Having the 135 degree makes it easier.

I always use CUT TO FIT WIRES... they ALWAYS look and fit better than pre cut replacements... (I don't care i8f you disagree.... I know I am right anyway.... 
)
MSD Cut to fit wires are in my experience EXCELLENT wires, that will only fail upon DIRECT contact with a header tube or exhaust manifold.
I used TAYLOR CUT TO FIT wire on my Lincoln because they are like 1/2 the cost of MSD wires and they come in a very cool fluorescent blue...
I can't say if the Taylors are as good as the MSDs, but they look nice, they SEEM to be good, and for 1/2 the price of MSDs I won't really bitch if they last 1/2 as long....

I have a set of Taylor wires, but I'm not a fan of the outer insulation. It's pure silicone and is rather soft, unlike a lot of the other wires out there. I can take chunks out of it with my fingernails.
