Where to Buy Shielded wiring
Shielded wiring where to buy.
If you dont know what Im talking about its the wiring the is done with the dizzy, knock sensor, o2 sensor etc.
I usally make my own, but Id like to find some pre-made shielding wiring.

Im looking at something called coax cables. Looks like what I need, but IDK for sure and wont buy unless I know. I like referrals vs talking to people who "just sell it"
Automotive wiring is TEW, [multi-strand], use Google to find local supplier, [I never buy on-line either] use the gauge appropriate for the current needed for the load.
Go to the dealer, tell them what the load is and it is for 12V, they will show you the proper shielded wire, from basic that will do the job to military or aircraft spec wiring. 94

What do you mean by load. I have always used 18 or 16 gauge auto wiring for any harness ive ever done. I know a few people who do their own harnesses as well and have never heard anyone mention load
The load is the current, [amps] used by whatever electronic part the wiring is connected to, EG; a 16ga primary wire, [automotive wire/TEW/multi-strand] has a capacity of 15A, so a load of up to 15A can be powered by a 16ga wire, if you wired something that needed more then 15A to run/work you would have to use 14ga power wire, like power window motors need up to 20A, [the load is 20A] so you would use 14ga wire that has a capacity of 25A.
When making harnesses you need to take into account the loads, you want to use the smallest gauge wire possible to keep the harness as small and light as possible, but a wire gauge big enough to handle the load although you can use a bigger gauge of wire then is needed, but that would be pointless, it adds unnecessary weight, bulk and cost. 94
