Should have wire in the middle rather than the graphite core most newer sets have.
They will a rubber spark plug boot on the plug end of the wire.
The coil wire you will cut to fit also. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 | As most of you probably know, the wires that Denny shows ( from Classic Parts, née Chevy Duty) do not have the rubber boots at the spark plugs. In 1954 and later, boots were used (I do not know about 1953, I'll check). | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 | | | |
