Plug wires

Where can I pick up a set of 8mm-8.5mm plug wires for my 13B or for how much? Mine are causing the car to misfire just as the boost starts to hit and when I rev the motor by hand in the dark I can see the current flowing through at least 1 or more wires. I don't have to make my own do I? I'm using Splitfire 8mm wires right now but they have to go ASAP and none of the parts stores around here carry the same exact set.

I'm sure your local parts store ( just about 'any' auto) parts store can order you the correct set.,,,or,....you can buy a spool of whatever size wire you like, and the boots and the contacts..,,or ,. buy a set of wires for a V8. and use the short wires. Where did you end up placing your 'rotory engine' plaque ?

Thats for 7mm wires. 8mm and larger are a bit more money.

I've been using some Accel 300+ wires and am quite happy with them. They are a ferric core wire, rather than the carbon-string wires that wear out. I got 'em at the junkyard for 5 bucks.

I put my rotary plaque right above the glove box area. Looks nice, thanks again. What do you think 8mm NGK wires go for?

I used the Accel 300+ Thundersports wires. They worked pretty well as far as I could tell.
