    Got a 72 Grabber v8/302 kinda beefed up. Can someone recommend a good ignition coil, spark plug wires and plugs??? I was going to go OEM. I'm not looking for chrome plated or anything fancy, just something real good!

    Thanks!

    If you can still get it ,try Pertronix ign. dist. & coil,cheaper than the MSD stuff & will do a good job on a mild mtr.

    Any particular model on the Pertronix?

    What about wires and plugs? I just found a NEW set in a box I had, although they are 3 years old . Motorcraft # E5PZ-12259-HR or WR3866BR Are these good? or should I get a different set of wires?

    Thanks!

    Wires ? hard to beat Ford motorsport's 9mm sets ($40) they don't fit the old small caps, but it's nothing to convert to the larger post type cap, you can buy the cap, rotor and cap adapter at the local parts house. Plugs ? Autolite Copper will do you fine.
