Hey all - recently built a '68 and to get'er goin' I stole the plug wires off the '49.  Finally getting around to (trying to) order some replacements for the '49 and it seems that plain ol' black solid wire core wires are getting hard to find?  Suppression style wires don't work the best on points ignitions, and I don't want any of the florescent green/yellow/pink novelty crap - just want plain old black 90 degree boot.  I can find some wire/ends/boots to make up my own but if I can help it I'd rather get the already made up variety.  What do you guys do/buy?  Thanks.

          The local O-Reilly's has 90* and coil ends, wire by the foot, about 4 different kinds

Maybe give Magnecor a call...their 6mm black wires are very good (especially the coil/plug connectors). Can build anything you want. Ordered a set some time ago to Canada, very reasonable...probably even better south of the 49th.
Just a suggestion.
