Hi Kevin,

Before you start ordering wires again, you should know these facts:

1) MSD 32189 is the set I ordered and use on my Dak (5.9). At the time I
ordered these, that was the only option for the Dak 5.9.

2) Since then MSD has come out with a new set of wires, MSD 32979. These
are supposed to have the angled boots that fit the plugs better....though I
didn't find a fitment problem with the original set.

3) You'll need new looms with these bigger wires, either of the new sets.

4) 32189's are $58.95 as opposed to $84.39 for the 32979's. Prices are from
Summit Racing.

5) I have headers and the 32189's are holding up fine being in close
proximity to them.

Thanks for the part #. I've had excellent luck with MSD's quality in the
past, but Summit told me that there was not a custom fit set for the
318/360 magnum motors, only the universal kits. I'll run that part # by
them tomorrow.

I had a set of Magnecore wires on another vehicle (yes, it was spec'd for
that model by Magnecore) and found them to be of good fit but terrible at
suppressing RFI. The wires allowed every single spark to be heard in the
radio, making the radio useless while the engine was running. The RFI was
so bad it fouled up the computer, making the engine run poorly. A quick
change back to standard wires resolved the problem. Maybe I got a bad
batch of wires, maybe they were not intended for street use, I
dunno. Since then I've looked elsewhere.
