I have 3.0 GREEN Dyna coils and Jeff @ Z1 Enterprises ( another plug for Jeff ) recommended Dyna wires ( can't remember what size ).
They seem to do the trick just fine;) I also HAD a Dyna S ignition before it started acting up:unsure:
I just figure they ( DYNA ) made the coils , wires and electronic ignition to work together.. so why not use them together.
But MOST wires should work fine.

If pro is opposite of con, then what is the opposite of progress?

id be willing to bet dyna is just like any other company who assembles parts and sells them complete.kinda like furnaces and airconditioners.put a trane furnace and a goodman furnace side by side the trane has shinier paint and a differant sticker,but when you open them up youll see white rogers or honeywell stamped on everything inside there !they buy up the parts from same manufacturer and install them in their own cabinet with a differant label,so what you are paying for is a $1700.00 box that says trane versus a $500.00 box that says goodman with the same parts and same warranty.napa oil is made by valvoline,napa oil filters are made by wix.same parts ,differant box with a differant price!:whistle:

OK, I'm digging up an old post looking for more answers...

The dyna and MSD wires are only available with 180 degree boots (I want 90 or 135 deg for outside plugs). I have Blue Taylor wires now but they are about 15 years old and I'd like to get new ones. I am running an MSD MC-1 ignition and andrews coils and need some RFI shielding.

What sheilded wires are available with 90 or 135 deg boots?? A decent color would be nice too. Anyone know of any? I haven't been able to find any yet :angry:

See picture next post...

My 1976 coils and wires are still running my scooter to this day, so I'd have to say that the very best wires and coils are the ones that came from the Kawasaki factory. Of course I did away with the points abd condenser and have a Dyna setup and am well pleased. A spark is a spark regardless of the brand name that produced it.
