I am looking to get a DUI distributor for sbc in my 84 cutlass.Has anyone purchased a set of their live wires? If so how did they fit? I am hesitant on buying prefabricated wires

I have not seen anyone here using those plug wires. What have you found from online reviews about them

we used the DUI distributor in our circle track cars where we had to use an HEI distributor. We chipped the car with aq 6200 rpm limiter and the DUI never skipped a beat. The stock HEI gets sporatic at high rpms. I don't know who makes their wires but it could be another company paying to use the DUI name

I've had a DUI distributor & live wires on my SBO for the last ten years and they haven't skipped a beat. Both are high quality and were worth the money. Btw, my live wires are numbered at both ends.

The Olds wires were assembled & the fitment was really good. I'm surprised to hear that the Chevy version is built differently, maybe they are all built that way now?
