If you want 8 mm use Talyor pn 76030, But i like to run 8.8mm and I think most do, I use ACCEL 300+ 8.8m pn 7137. Part numbers are from www.summitracing.com

Ditto on the Taylor 10.4mm wires... Nice and fat.

I used a set of Accel wires (8.8mm)...here's a link to my post about them.

They've been on the car for almost a year so far...I drive it ~20 miles per day. No problems whatsoever.

EDIT: Crap, didn't see that you have your coils mounted on your valve cover. My coils are mounted under the fan.
