Try to find a Bosch set that has the fittings that connect to the wires with what looks like a wood screw that just screws into the end of the wire. The most important thing is to find a set that has right angle connectors to the top of the distributor. Otherwise your wires will chafe against the underside of the engine cover. The OE sets came with these beautiful Bosch right angle screw-on dist cap connectors. These are now irreplacable. If you still have them, don't throw them away; they are reusable forever with any wire you might have. I buy SP wire in 50' rolls and replace the wire only when it gets old and hard. The SP end connectors are also replacable, but again you should stick to the Bosch which screw into the wire. I keep a stock of these connectors also for when the resistor inside them fails. There are also red silicone rubber boots which seal the space between this connector and the SP insulator. These are a VERY good thing for starting on damp mornings.
