The Moroso spiral wound core uses real wire, wound in a tight spiral to eliminate radio interference. This has the added advantage of no electrical breakdown (increased resistance) over time and extended use. I've used the Moroso wires in the past with very good results. Not sure on the quality of their products today, but they do claim "made in USA".
If I were to choose among the list, I'd choose the Moroso, if only for the promise of a long lifespan.

Cujet, thanks for the PDF. That helps a lot..
"350 ohms of resistance per foot" I wonder were the other selections fall regarding ohms of resistance per foot?
Not important unless it REAL high. The R value is part of the circuit.
This is a
High-Tension SPARK not a battery cable. Different rules apply.
Mag wire may need a different coil to work right. The ignition circuit is just that
You don't go replacing "component values" willy-nilly. I've used mag wire with less than OEM performance resulting.
Like I said, I have done 1000's of performance tunes.
PACKARD wire, properly terminated with good thick silicone rubber boots at the spark plug end.
Well, okay ARCO. You make a compelling case. That's why I posed the question here in BITOG. Learn something new every day. So when using an OEM coil and breaker points, guess I shouldn't look any further than OEM wire. Could it be that Packard Electric was the OEM supplier for Chrysler back in the day? Lectric Limited seems to indicate this...
Now I need to decide if I want to pay the extra for money for the script...
