Can you post a link of a Waytek kit for those and I'll order at the office? What Klein crimper do you like? Can you post a link? I may already have it.

Understood on the plug wires, cap, and rotor. Do you have a recommendation for those? I have MSD Dizzy #8563.

Off to work.

The Klein crimper is #1006, and is available on Amazon:

Here's the nickel plated high heat butt connectors, 2 gauge ranges:

Another comment, ONLY use GXL or TXL wire on a car, no parts store 'primary wire'. It can't stand the heat and has higher resistance. I like using WireBarn.com, they are very good prices, quality items, and fast shipping.

GXL is fine, maybe look at the 'assortment' kits. 12 gauge for high loads, 14 or 16 for everything else.

WireBarn has heat shrink too, most common sizes are 5/16, 3/8, and 1/2 inch:

The MSD replacement parts specified for that MSD distributor is the way to go. They make both red and black colors, either is fine.

This is the black cap & rotor kit at Summit:
