Looking for new wires. What do you like for a stock 2.0L?

Clewett, Magnacor, Denso, Bemi, Bosch, Beru, NGK other?

For a stock car I'd get as close to stock wires as possible. You definitely do not need Magnacors with a stock motor. Any of the fancy spiral wound heavy insulated yadda yadda wires are just overkill. This changes when you go to modern EFI or more sensitive spark control.

Well, I did need a set of wire with a long coil wire running to the MSD box on my 914-6 GT build. Called Clewett, (i think the owner 8:00 his time). Yup he understood the problem, had the set, asked how fast I wanted it...same day, two day. Just a great company to deal with. Best, Mark

Ordered one Clewett set on Rennline. I'll get another for the other car if I like it.
