Micheal,
I have Moroso wires, but I crimped them myself. With the instructions they
give, it is real easy to do. They even give you a nifty tool to help you
cut the wires. You could do this, or maybe some Holley Annihillater(??),
or MSD's. At least you got the hard side done, once you start the
passenger side, it goes on fast!! MP makes wires for the Dakota, but
they're like $70!! A Spectre Loom (mine), or a Moroso loom sound like
they'll work OK.
Good Luck!!
Brian
