Super,

Packard wire was recommended by Carrol Smith, author of the Prepare to Win, Tune to Win, and Engineer to Win series of books back in the '70s. He said it was more readily available in the boonies than his favorite Autolite wire (before Ford sold off the name) and almost as good.

I bought a 100 ft roll of AC-Delco SS-550 wire back in '78 at a local parts store that handles Delco brand merchandise, and did the wires on my car that June, after I discovered the first bad Beru connector. I have done a couple of additional 911 wire sets and a couple of VW Beetles from that roll, and still have enough for one more 911 set ... for my car, I guess 23 years is long enough service for one set! It is 7 mm wire, as is the factory Neoprene wire for the Beru sets.
