7 mil. What I do is pick up  accel super stock wires from Autozone. About 24$ but you get enough for approx. 4 cb's lol

Other guys talk about tractor supply places and finding great deals for non suppression core wires but for me a quick shot to AZ was easiest and cheapest. You need solid core, stranded core, something with copper in the middle. No type of graphite or spiral or any suppression wire that is why you grab super stock or the like

The dirty girl-1976 cb750k, Ebay 836, Tracy bodykit
Round top carbs w/ 38 pilots, middle needle position, airscrew 7/8ths out, 122 main jet
Stock airbox w/ drop in K&N, Hooker 4-1

Don't trust me alone with a claw hammer and some pliers

thek the ohm in this coils...think they are for elektronic ignision..not platin knickers..they are lower ohm and drav more power..then the standart coils..
my cbx  1000 use the schrev in type..but the old 550 used the sealed vire type
