I recycle junkyard wires. As long as the terminals aren't corroded or the insulation compromised in some way, they are just as good and seem to last just as long as when I used to buy new wires. If your current wires are in good condition there is no reason to believe the parts store hype and replace them.

My '59 has 40+ year old wires and points and it runs grrreeeaaat!
