custom spark plug wires

hi guys,
need some help with spark plug wires with my REW swap using TII leading and trailing coils. where can i get some generic or universal spark plug wire kit that i can cut to length and crimp the ends myself? i know the auto parts stores have their generic ones but wasn't sure if the ends would fit the TII coils or not (this is my main concern).

thanks for the help.

I used a set of FC specific NGK wires to make my custom length wires.
Keep the coil ends intact (because they are kinda unique), cut the generic spark plug end off and recrimp a new plug end on.

Or measure and have Magnecor or SakeBomb Garage build the set for you, they'll definitely do a better job than you will with a cheap crimper. I've used both companies and they do a great job.

thanks guys, i'll look into those options.

clokker, when you mention "recrimp a new plug on", do you mean uncrimp that end and reuse the connector/boot or literally get a new connector (not sure who would sells these separately).

NAPA (and probably others) sell new plug end connectors and boots.
They're cheap, don't reuse the old ones.

Orielly has an MSD Streetfire 8mm kit for 60 bucks. Comes with 8 wires at various lengths, and all the ends youll ever need. I could probably make another 2 sets with all the leftover wire i have left.

Edit, just looked and theyre actually 47 bucks.

Thanks, I may go this route. Looking at MSD, I would get the 5551 set as it's got the straight spark plug ends whereas the 5553 has 90* spark plug ends
