Hi.
Several years ago I bought a set from Taylor. Already assembled on both ends. Factory looking boot to cover spark plug tubes. Now it appears that they are discontinued in that style. What are you guys using? Firecore or something else? I really liked the Taylor's and wish I could find them again. Thanks.

I'm currently running MSD wires, but they don't look factory at all. I've run Taylors in the past and really like them, but the ones I had didn't look factory either. My hemi looks similar to Dragula's...not too concerned w/ the factory look.  Sorry, I know this doesn't help you.

Moroso has the best going. And a very good price. Also available with HEI terminals. Mancini or the other suppliers.

I agree, Taylor did screw up when they did that.
I think part of the problem might have been when they did the MP wire sets, there
might have been a concern about conflict of interest with MP or some nonsense like that.
Anyway if 8mm is close enough and you don't mind enlarging the factory looms slightly, then you can order Taylor numbers:
75089 partially assembled wire set
46059 180 degree non-HEI style distributor cap ends
44300 plug tube covers
As something to investigate: they may offer a wire set that already comes with the proper distributor ends, but damned if I could ever find them.
That is what is on my 572 as shown. They're close enough to stock for me.

I just watched an episode of Graveyard cars where Mark was talking about date coded wires from classic industries. If you’re doing the restoration thing. https://www.classicindustries.com/product/md4665.html
