[Mgs] Ignition wires

My 64B, although running good, has an intermittent misfire which I believe is
due to a problem with the ignition wire (plug #3) or cap. Replaced spark plugs
- #3 still showing soot deposits on the white insulator, compression 150 +/- 5
psi on all 4 cylinders (cold).

But anyway, I figured I would replace cap and ignition wires, the problem is
that Moss wants a princely sum for the archaic cap with its spike connectors
and the basic wires. The ignition wire set lists at $42.95 versus $12.95 for
the top entry style. But Moss is also pushing the Cobalt premium wire set at
$34.95, all I have to do is ditch the old style cap and go with the post-67
top entry cap. So many choices. Any comments on these different wire types? I
am trying to keep my 64B mostly original but if these premium wires make for
significantly better performance, I will take that over nostalgia.
