Mine remind me of an MSD and Stocker cross, but iirc they are made by JBA.

I'm gonna keep them for now, just in case I come across another set of cheap round coils...IIRC, I saw a few sets at the last swap meet that I went to

FWIW my stock 01 coils are the round type with the little heat sinks. Looks like these wires would work on my truck so I ordered a set since I want some shorter wires and the metal shields

anybody actually using these with the eBay headers?
i just put them on today & since i'm a retard & got the longer wires when i did my motor swap, there's about 4 wires hitting the primaries just from the slack.

one good thing is that my #5 wire's long enough to go over the hump without touching

not to thread-jack, but since y'all have catch cans, have you seen a lot of benefit from them? i'm N/A, so do you think it'd be worth it to put one on my truck?

Sucks less oil, the old flapper style sucks a lot of oil. The fixed orfice is just a little hole in it. Next weekend when I do an oil change Im going to see how much oil Ive got in the catch can since Ive actually put some miles on it now.

I wish I would have seen this earlier. Yes the round coils take shorter wires. I tried a set of MSD truck wires on mine and they were like 2 inches too long and looked stupid with the bulge in them.

I have been using MSD Corvette wires ever since. However, that's about to change after seeing those bad boys. ;-)
