Only three things are required:  spark, fuel, and air -- in the correct proportions, of course.  If your wires, and boots, are questionable, start with them.

Wires should be copper, not carbon (available on e-Bay, if your local auto shops don't stock the ol' reliable Packard copper wires).  If you are concerned with RFI, then try using Iridium plugs from NGK:  they're resistive, but they still require less voltage to create a spark.  They fire like you have new, modern coils installed.  Let us know what you find.  Cheers!
