Being the cheap guy I am (hey, I'm supporting 4 project cars) I found/made a very inexpensive set of wires for my 931. Are they magnacores? no, but do they work? yes. When I purchased my new distributor cap I noticed the connectors looked very similar to pre-73 General Motors stuff. I also purchased a new set of plugs so I would not have to contend with the threaded ends of the current plugs. At this point I had a cap with standard connectors and plugs with standard ends, so I headed to NAPA and shopped for premade wires by the inch. I think I bought 1 12" lenght, 2 18" lenghts, and 1 24" lenght. I also bought a different 12" wire to use as a coil wire (bring you old wires with you for comparison purposes). If I was really concerned about maximizing performance on minimum budget I would have bought a cut-to-lenght set of Mallory's or MSD wires and attached my own ends. I hope this will save you guys a few bucks.
