DCurrent Posted April 9, 2012 Report Posted April 9, 2012 Hello all, I was wondering if anyone has purchased a set of copper core spark plug wires for thier car recently from napa. I am looking for a set for my 48 plymouth seeing as how I still have points. Most all the ignition parts have been replaced and I want to eliminate the wires as a possible problem. Has anyone maybe found a set that can be cut down? You wouldn't happen to have a part number for them would you? Thanks, Darren Quote
Don Coatney Posted April 9, 2012 Report Posted April 9, 2012 Go to tractor supply or Farm & Fleet. This set cost about fifteen bucks a few years back. Quote
TodFitch Posted April 9, 2012 Report Posted April 9, 2012 Maybe 15 years ago I purchased a reel of copper core cloth covered spark plug wire. Still working off that same reel and have a few more years worth of tune ups left on it. I don't remember who I purchased it from but it looks like YnZ's carries it: http://www.ynzyesterdaysparts.com/index.php?act=viewCat&catId=32 I'd be surprised if you couldn't get the same or similar stuff from other vendors. I buy the boots and end pieces from my local auto supply when I buy the rotor, cap, condenser and points. Quote
54Illinois Posted April 9, 2012 Report Posted April 9, 2012 (edited) I bought these off ebay. They went in real well, and already cut to fit. The ad says cloth, but it is plastic sheath. On a side note, I originally bought the NAPA ones. They are blue and they need to be cut down. http://www.ebay.com/itm/370467328167?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 Edited April 9, 2012 by 54Illinois Quote
DCurrent Posted April 9, 2012 Author Report Posted April 9, 2012 Thanks fellas! I think I'll go the TSC route and see how they work. I have one close by and probably less hassle. Darren Quote
Mark D Posted April 10, 2012 Report Posted April 10, 2012 Installed the same set Don recommends a Couple weeks ago. Gotta love a good value. Quality was decent too. Quote
DCurrent Posted April 12, 2012 Author Report Posted April 12, 2012 I used the plug wires from TSC today and they worked out great! $20 is reasonable for them also. Thanks for the tip Don! Darren Quote
