Use copper wires.

You want to use plain old copper wires. The new fangled carbon ones don't work well.

If you have a tractor supply nearby you can get a "custom" set to fit 4-cylinder farmalls for about $30.

True wire type plug wires only. The new car/truck type will not hold up well due to vibration etc that a tractor has

I agree with using copper spark plug wires. I was working on a Ford NAA that had the resistive type wires. I could get the spark to jump .180 inches on a variable spark checker but it was an orange color. I changed one lead to a copper wire then rechecked the spark. Much to my surprise, the spark was a beautiful blue white color just what I was looking for. Changing the wire to copper from the resistive type was the only change that was made.

you have to stay with the wire core wires as the modern carbon core wires require a higher voltage such as in electronic ignitions.
