Lower plug wires for dual plugs?

I already have Magnecore 8mm wires installed on my 1974 Targa and I am in the process of planning and acquiring parts for upgrading my engine ect. One of the upgrades I plan on adding is dual plugs. Does anyone have any suggestions for the lower wires or would I have to purchase a complete 12 wire set from a supplier such as Clewett? Thanks in advance.

Plug wires at 40 paces?

Or maybe "dual" ignition wires?

LOL! Always a spelling critic out there somewhere! Even spell check would have missed that[if I ever used it]. When I used "duel" instead of "dual" it was probably just another "Freudian Slip" after too many years of competitive motor sports!

I still am looking for ideas on the lower plug wires.

You can buy partial sets from magnecor They have a factory in the Detroit area .I would call their tech line and ask about a part number but they may refer you to a dealer

When I twin-plugged my car, it already had 8.5 magnecors up top. I called the Magnecor tech line and they already had the specs for lower twin plug applications on hand and made me up a set - very easy.

I recall there is a footnote about magnecor plugwires in 964 applications . I am using their wire set on a 964 motor with 993 HEs in a 1980 SC and can confirm they fit just fine
