If ya buy a universal set they come with different ends and you can tailor them to the engine........

I have one thing to say about spark plugs wires. I bought my first set of "Rajah" terminals (from Brillman's) about a year ago, and I'll never use anything else unless it's a 100 point restoration.

I've been a Rajah fan since the 60s.

By the foot and Rajahs too.

Been a while but I have never been disappointed to this point.

Don't get thown off by the name. Lots of guys with "hotrods" want the correct wires and ends for their flathead.

Another vote for Brillmans.
About 6 years ago, I was still able to buy a 100' roll of Packard 440 wire from my local NAPA store. Not any more, at least where I'm located

...think i'm putting these guys in my Rolodex. https://brillman.com/

Cheaper at hotrodcompany but 10ft to start. Need at least 14ft if I remember correctly.

Like I mentioned I have not had issues with hotrodco, But maybe it's changed.

So Jim you are saying that non metal wire is ok with our systems? Stock Bubba crab 12 v neg. I really want to do this over the weekend and don't have time for brillmans. Napa has a universal set. So this should work fine, huh? Napa is the only auto parts store on the island.
