Chris,
I certainly don't know all your options, but here are two to consider. 
Mallory sells several sets of cut and crimp your own wires, which I think 
is the only option for getting a set of wires that really fit like the 
originals. I like and have their red wires which are very highly rated 
and look really good in my engine compartment. With a plug wire crimper 
and the neat little cutter Mallory gives you it is really a snap to make 
a great looking set of wires. Also excellent wires with even better plug 
boots are made by Jacobs, but I think that they come only in blue. Same 
tools and procedures for making these fit. What ever set of wires you end 
up with will need the right ends for your distributor cap. Innies or 
outies?
Many high output ignition modifications, such as MSD can't use solid core 
wires, so present or future plans may eliminate that option. Neither the 
Mallory or Jacobs that I've used are solid cores, but they may make some. 
Maybe nobody makes solid cores any more, I don't know.
