I made my own. I bought a spool of 8mm Taylor solid copper core wire and the appropriate boots and terminals  and sat down and crimped them together.

If you do it the way Outlaw did it, I hope you don't have a radio that you use and the neighbours will love ya when you drive in the lane as their TV goes nuts due to electronic noise. Solid core wires are great on race cars, but most street cars run a carbon core wire. Everybody and their brother make some and MSD is a big player. You also need to decide what size of wire you want- 7, 8mm? Coloured or black, silicone boots, date coded, HEI styled ends, pre-cut or made to order,etc. NAPA can give you a lot of choices, too. Good luck  :cheers:

All the F.A.S.T guys run them. They are a high quality wire that has a stock look.
