I would use metal core spark plug cable and 5K plug caps.
I think it's 7mm cable but I might well be wrong about that.
The Dyna coils have plug cable connectors like on old automotive distributors, so you will need 4 compatible connectors and sealing boots. You can just buy a cable set for an old 4 cylinder car with the distributor connectors molded on, but the cable will be graphite core.
Easiest, of course, is to get the cable set from Dyna; this comes with two long cables with distributor caps on both ends, you cut them to make 4 one ended cables and add the plug caps.

Stock wires were steel core but copper core will work too with resistor cap ends. I found that the fiber core wires did not work well with my Dyna system.

Dyna ignition or points as your coil selection tells me your running uses copper core wires . I would use Taylor 7 mm and you should be able to get them at any parts store .

I have put this out there before but my personal choice is the super stock wires that accel sells at every autozone. It's like the bottom right hand corner of their plug wire wall. They are copper core and have plug boots on them

The plug boots are no resistance so you will have to make up resistance elsewhere, just a thought

I've read here tractor wires at tractor supply. The have the coil end molded and are solid core so you can install your stock  ends on the spark plug end.

My choice too, but I seem to recall they're not only solid Copper core but also Stainless wound for extra strength, not just Copper alone. Also the insulation is really good stuff, holds up very well and easily cleaned. Great wires!
