I was wondering if any one has used any aftermarket/auto ignition wire with PMAG and their experience that they can share. I understand the speck for PMAG provided wire is 180 ohm per foot resistance which I couldn't find any with that spec. Would a 50 ohm wire be better?

I used MSD 8.5mm cables and was happy with the results.
I just got a bulk length, end connectors and boots and made them up to whatever length I needed. I got the connectors that go to the pMag from pMag as I was not able to find them anywhere else.

I think the coil connectors are from Ford EDIS coils. Emagair may be just as good as any other source.
I also used MSD 8.5mm wire to adapt a Bendix mag to auto plugs, using the old style "gland nut' plate that mounts to the mag. I used 90 degree MSD plug boots too.
I'm considering trying NGK resistor caps for the plug ends so I can use non-resistor 18mm plugs.

Just used the leads that came with the P-Mags - no problems, all correct length and well made.

I too found the supplied leads to be well made, but I will likely go with Magnecor if I ever need replacements. They can make the leads exactly as you wish, and are of extremely high quality.
You can get 18mm resistor plugs, as well. I have been using autolite 386's with my recent EI upgrade. These are resistor plugs and they are working well for me.

I was not happy with the pre-made length of the PMag wires. After a couple of years I decided to replace them with Accel wires bought from the local AP store. The distributor ends are different so Brad sent me a pack of new ones. Very happy with my custom length wires.
