OK, its time to replace my 4 yr old Accel 300 plus wires, what should I use...

When I got my Screamin demon coil, I got the wires that go with it. Livewires, 11mm, from Performance Distributors.

Don't even think about using Accel Superstock 8mm Wire's. They are junk to keep it simple.
Stick with MSD 8.5mm Super Conductor Wire's or Taylor 10.5m Wire's if you like them big. I've tried alot of different wire's in my day and I have alway's been impressed with MSD & Taylor. To be honest with you there is a alot of other good Wire's out there as well. I've heard good thing's about Moroso & Crane set's as well. Just don't cheap out on wire's, it will end up costing you more money in the long run. Stay away from Accel.

I agree, go with the msd super conducter 8.5mm. I just picked up a set, their good quality wires.

You can't use crappy wires with the screamin deamon coil....its simply too "hot" a coil. I would either get performance dist's live wires, MSD wires or taylors. Also dont forget to gap your plugs at .060

yes, it is prolly too hot for those wires.... if i remember correctly, it says on the coil package and the 6a package that you must use a high performance wire with it.... ive also been impressed with msd wires and the taylor wires....

Another vote for the MSD 8.5mm Super Conductor Wire's.
Another big factor besides being great wires is that if you have headers the boot ends can be bent to miss the headers.
