Default Ignition wires? solid or....

Do you prefer solid core or heli core wires and why? Anyone using the MSD 8.5mm wires? how do they work? I know that you need suppression wires if you are using sensative electronics so the solid core is sometimes not a choice.

You can't run solid core wires if you have any electronics. This would be a radio, vhf, or electronic ignition. This is why most people run the spiral core wires.

Spiral wires are the only way to go. They are the best of both worlds all the pos benifits of solid core and pos benifits of radio suppression. Jacobb s are the easyiest to custom fit..MSD are great but a pain to assemble. These are the only wires I have used other than the Ford Motorsport. I have tried others and have not liked one or another thing about them. Magnacore are good too.
