I'm looking for a couple of sets of plug leads for my early '70s Pro Stock style dual plug Hemi. Can a guy buy a reasonable set of say 8mm leads these days without them having the book of War & Peace printed down their entire length?

A couple of sets of plain black/colored leads that I could cut to fit would be great . . any suggestions?

Thanks

MSD use to offer them in red and black with the porclyn insulators included, that was a couple of years ago. Moroso may also offer them in black, my last choice would be Jacobs unassembled sets with insulators, cut to fit the distributor ends

Get on ebay and look for old Acell wires from that era.

Be advised it takes 3 sets of plug wires.

Can you explain this a bit more plesae, I was thinking that the wire would be long enough to fit & I'm using a right angle dual dizzy so mabe I would swap the longer wires from left to right.

I made a set for, RIP, Dick Towers. Came out nice. We lost our supplier for the original Heemi Tubes. If you have 16of them, I'll make you the set in either black, or the higher-priced orange. I have a pic of a dual plug we did. Can't find it, though. Do you have the lengths already?

Those wires look quite thick, what size are they?

What brand and do they have writing all the way along them or are they plain red?

Cheers.

There moroso wires with a nylon cover on them that you can get from jegs/summit
if you can zoom in enuff you can see red ele. Tape on ends by the cap
the sleeve spossed to keep from crossfiring
there is no writing on them but each has numbered tag so if took off can go right back in same place(also from jegs/summit)
