[Tigers] spark pug wires

[Donald Antilla]

Tony and friends: 
I agree that the plug wires never seem to fit perfectly. I ordered a custom set from A specialty shop and had them cut the wires 12 inches longer that standard. I asked them to only terminate the spark plug end and leave the distributor end unterminated. Then I custom fit them and using a purpose built crimp tool,  I added the brass end terminals. 
Tomorrow I will send you the end result on my Series 200 Griffith if you’d like to see it. 
It is definitely worth the time to do it right and custom cut each plug wire.

> Ron, your engine compartment looks wonderful and even better than that. I am curious about your plug wires as they appear to fit perfect. Are they a set you cut to length or a correctly fitting set you purchased? Seems every set I've purchased over the years that supposedly fit correctly never did and I prefer not to make my own. Any help from Ron and or others. TIA
