Hello Listers;
I have the Moss premium wires (Cobalt) on my '74 B-GT and they appear to fit
well and are well-constructed. I see no real performance benefit,
however...but I'm not running any high-performance ignition components (just a
Standard dizzy w/Pertronix).
Regards,
Matt Milkevitch

Premium wires won't make any difference unless you are going to open the gaps
right up for some reason, and then you are likely to get coil, cap and rotor
failures. Original carbon string wires were still available the last time I
looked, but they gradually go higher and higher resistance (as the carbon
joggles along the string?) and they are also pretty expensive, so I have
silicone-cored. I've never had one of these fail in 30 or 40 years (except
for a peculiar insulating coating that appeared on one of the brass
connectors), I've had the same set on my V8 for 17 years and 100k.
