I have had great luck with JDMSpeed 10.5mm spark plug wire set for BBC (I cant post links, too new lol)

I was skeptical on the price but worked great on a 454, currently rebuilding it into a 496 and will be reusing them. The one issue I ran into was if you want to use cable combs / clips, its difficult to find ones that support 10.5mm. I ended up using 'Taylor Clamp-Style Wire Separators 42709' from summit racing and they do the job just fine

I bought a set of Taylor custom 8.5mm wires as they were recommended by Daytona Sensors. Very low resistance and kit came very complete. I have a crimp tool and my layout is anything but stock so I always get the custom kits. Plus my coil is mounted further from the distributor than stock so I have to make my own. I will buy them again if and when I need new. Best part is they aren't expensive.

FST-255-2416 is the part number. Running them both on my 502MPI's, fit very nicely and about the best specs for the money.
