Going to answer this question unequivocally: Standard Motor Products.
A few years ago, the company purchased the only other U.S. wire and cable facility that produced ignition wire and consolidated production in Independence, Kansas. Every single U.S.-produced set of ignition wires—regardless of brand—comes out of the same facility. Holley, Accel, et al. included.
I was recently working on my car and found some pretty significant corrosion on a set of Taylor ignition terminals that hadn’t seen much use (though they may have been purchased prior to the consolidation). Looking for something better, I ordered a PerTronix set and realized—after checking their website—that it’s the same company that produces Taylor.
At that point I actually used my brain, looked up the ignition cable design engineer, and sent him a simple question:
“Which of our universal ignition cable sets is built with the best components, regardless of brand?”
He’s on vacation until the 5th, so we’ll see what comes back.
- disclaimer (and how I got my information), I work for Standard Motor Products.
