Red face Unanswered: Alternate plug wire set?

Well, I've searched, but can't find it here for some reason . . . thought it was here, but maybe it was posted long ago on Yahoo . . .

Someone, maybe Charles Goin, posted an alternative plug wire set that fit the CIH engine perfectly . . . from one of the Japanese 4-cylinders, if memory serves, and much easier to find than "Opel". I'd like to retain the "stock" look but upgrade the conductors to spiral core used on most replacement plug wires nowadays. Can anyone here point me in the right direction . . .

Hi Otto...I know the reference you're talking about - Charles posted it years ago (perhaps even before this site went online). I believe the wire set was for a Mazda 4 cylinder.
