Default plug wires for a 59L with a crab

What 7 MM plug wires are recommended for the 59L with a crab distributor. Looking for a good source for right angle terminals at both the plugs and cap. Thank you Fordbrainers.

I used pertronix 7mm spiral core wires. I have not run them but they went on the engine nice. Crab distributor.

Thank you all for your responses. If I can find a source for the Packard 440 wire, where would I find good quality right angle ends for the cap & plugs ?

Try these guys. Don't let the tractor orientation put you off. I find it kinda hard to navigate, but they got the stuff'

Best supplier on the planet:
https://www.brillman.com/

Just saw tub agrees!

They have 440 and every variety of plain and vintage wire, Rajah terminals galore, and every known type of OEM terminal and boot.
And plan out how you're going to manage the crossover wires with '42 type cap!
