I use NGK's and i like them. I think i paid $20 for the set for the stock replacement NGK wires. Pretty sure they had a set for $60 but i havent bought plug wires for a 7 in almost 2 years now

NGK replacement wires are nearly identical to the stock Yakazi wires and they work EXTREMELY well and last many many years. i use only NGK plugs and wires. if you have a faulty coil wire, replace the entire set.

I dont think you'll notice a bit of difference. If you only want to use one coil wire though, you can go to a direct fire mod and use an FC coil (or other suitable coil) search around and you can decide what you want to do.

$20 for a new wire set
pick used ones from a junk yard (please dont)
convert to direct fire for about $40 and not use that coil wire at all

Id convert and buy new wires personally, my FB went from 18.22MPG to 20.88MPG the very first tank after I switched to an FC coil. My best was 22.06 with a sterling carb not tuned and a RB exhaust.
