Important to keep in mind that if you are running an MSD type ignition box a spiral wound wire - not solid core - is mandated. Aftermarket wiring was one of the few concessions I made to underhood authenticity on 142. I finally settled on Accel 8mm Superstock black wiring.

If you use the stock plastic standoffs on your pentroofs, you will need to radius the openings a bit to accommodate the 8 mm as they were designed for the stock street 7mm wires. My original MSD wires were 8.5mm and were just too thick.
