Default MSD 8.5mm Plug Wires

Anybody have a part number for MSD 8.5mm wires that fit a HP500 Carbed motor? I will build them if I have to, but I am looking for a pre-made set. Running the stock Merc distributor and need 90* boots at both ends.

Thanks,
Dave

I just went through this, and wound up buying Taylor 8.2mm Thundervolt wires - $69.99 at Summit TAY-83253. They are available in blue and black, too. I did have to put the distributor ends on, but that was by choice - I wanted them to fit exactly right. Most of the wires were pretty close right out of the box, but everyone routes them just a little different. Fortunately, I had access to the special strippers/crimpers needed.
