Plugs and plug wires are about the best thing you can have for a properly running engine. What about the rest of the ignition system? Make sure you don't have old corroded cap and rotor. Make sure points are set properly. Buy a new 200,000 hr condenser from Jon G on this site. New condensers are Chinese Junk.

I've been using the AC Delco 43 or 45 (I can't remember which) for the last 4 or 5 years and 10,000 miles. Runs great and I drive it weekly on local roads and interstates.
