I know Bosch is a good set, I'll probably go with them. Believe I found the correct item, 09287, around $14.
Thanks Again

I think you first have to decide whether you want copper core or the carbon- fiber core (sorry, don't know what it is really called).

I use the copper because the 4-cylinder dizzy caps use a penetrating screw than the copper makes good, reliable contact with. Teamed with non-resistor plugs you can listen to your engine on the radio (and little else) but who cares.

I buy a 'Universal' wire set for a V-8 (the universal sets seem to be the same price whether 4, 6 or 8 cyl) and make as many sets as I can. I think (using some leftover connectors and boots) I got 4 TR3/4 sets from one box.

Me too, for the same reason. However, teamed with plug boots with integral resistors (as original), they actually made very little noise in the radio. The generator was much louder, until I added a suppression capacitor to it.

I use the Magnecor, but mine are three years old. I understand there may be changes in the newer versions.

I have to switch out my #1 wire when I set the timing with my digital lights, as they will not pick up the proper signal from the Magnecor wire. The reading that I get is off the wall from where it should be.
