Spark Plug Wires for Helmar/ non-W.P. Distributor?
Has anyone found an easily sourced spark plug wire set that works with the Helmar conversion? I was hoping for something I can easily pick up at the local auto parts store... maybe a set from a 280Z, Ford truck with a 300/6, 60's Ford mustang, or Dodge slant six? I looked at some pics on rock auto and the coil wire looks too short on most sets. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

I just used a set of Universal "Cut and fit" plug wires from one of the major chains (Autozone, I think).
Use the 90 degree connectors and boots on the dist cap, and you should be good to go.
