I stock Marks wires for $99 a set.

Kevin,
The ends just screw on and off - I have a set of instructions that go with the wires if needed.

The wires have the cylinder number printed on them, just like the timing belt covers above the distributors.

I put the Magnicores on over a year ago. Great cables that come completly assembled. You can get them cheap on ebay. Bottom line, no wires will give you more power, but crappy ones may steal some. I found the Magnicor very well put together. They seal very well to the head's spark plug socket. No need to spend $300 or to waste an afternoon making wire ends that may be less than perfect. Only issue with the magnicor is they are a tight fit on CIS models where the passenger side wires have to go around the WUR.

Plus they are red which we all know makes your car faster

I put the Magnicores on my '83 and I was honestly not all that impressed with them. I thought they were cool at first, and while they were snug in the beginning, after a few years they seemed to shrink up and rise up on the distributer and plugs and didnt keep good contacts. I felt they were a down-grade over the stock wires which always fit well and were higher quality, until they got real old at least. I will probably get the 99$ wire rebuild kit if my ends are in good shape.
