DELTEQ plug wires?

I bought a car with a delteq system in it. I need to change the spark plugs. So I figure I should upgrade the wires. Anybody with some suggestions or part #s. Will I need one of the cut to length sets.

Do you have the valve cover or radiator mount? I have a brand new set of wires that came with my Delteq, black 8mm. $50 shipped. If you are interested, let me know.

Just make 'em. Buy a set of universals and cut 'em to length. It only takes about an hour or so and you can "lay them out" so you can crimp the connector to take advantage of the natural wire bend.

The wires that come with the system are junk.. Just do whats stated above.. I got a set of Accel 8.8 and cut them to lenth.. Looks MUCH better and there alot better wires!

Agree with getting a set of universal wires and making the correct length yourself.

Ive just got one question for everyone on the cut to length wires....how the hell do you get the boots on them? I bought a set once and couldnt get the boot ends on for the life of me.
first, the wires would hardly push into the boot, plus the boots had 90 degree turns which proved impossible to route...

is there a trick to this?

Just squirt alittle dielectric grease in the boot and it should slide right into place..
