Default Correct Spark Plug Wires for a 64?

I need a recommendation. Is it possible to still find spark plug wires for a 365 hp 1964? If so, could you recommend a source?

Thanks, Greg

I believe Paragon and Dr. Rebuild both have them.

The Dr. Rebuild price is old on their website.

The repro dated wires (from Lectric Limited, which all the vendors sell) have had LOTS of problems in the last two years. The AC-Delco replacement set (correct lengths for Corvettes) is #508N, and Pertronix now makes a "basic black" 7mm spiral-core set in the correct length as their #708101.

Greg, if you want to go the repro route, do as has been suggested. Oth, if you want Delco wires that will still garner some points and work as advertised, you can find them at Advance Auto and others. I think that the part number is Delco 508N for OEM fit and look. I have them on my 72 with the repro dated ones stored.

Thanks for the tips guys! Looks like we will go with the 508N for now mostly to get the reliability.
