Upgraded Plug wire for a 454
Does anybody know where I can find an upgraded plug wire set (8mm) that look somewhat like originals for my '72 454?
Thanks,
Fred

Fred,
Corvette Central or Ecklers have the braided 8mm wires for B cars.
They run around 85-100 $$ for the set. They mount up nice for the most part, but when I did mine I had to do some small mods on the #2 and 8 wires.
Just remember - you want only the wires that are NCRS restoration type wires if you are looking to keep your car authentic.

Hi Bill,
I just got of the phone with corvette central.When I asked them about the braided wires they told me they do not know the mm size of the wires.
Do you know for sure that they are 8's. They say they are stock wires.
Where stock braided wires 8mm??
