I was going to swap out Dist. wires with a new unused uncut set of wires but wondered if the 6v Vs 12v would be an issue? All advice is appreiated...

If you are talking about spark plug wires (no difference)

I have been around the block a few times about this. Unless it is a factory correct restoration, I always go with Packard 440 solid core wire and Rajah spark plug terminals. I get them from the Brillman Company and have never regretted it. The positive "click" you hear when putting on a Rajah terminal on a spark plug is very satisfying.

I'm a 440 & Rajah fan as well.

Electronic ignitions excluded. you want solid core... outside spiral bound resistor wire for electronic ignition.
