I see both 7mm and 8mm. Is there any difference? Can I use 8mm?Thanks,Spike October 29, 2014 at 6:58 am #261940 billnpartsParticipant @billnparts Original wires for your car were 7mm. 8mm wires came into play with the introduction of High Energy ignition systems. To answer your questions…Yes and yes.
