[Tigers] spark pug wires

                Your correct about wire sets.  

Some of them are generic sets which means they will most likely fit any small block Ford from 1962 onward and even a 351; the wires could be any length.

 

I have made my own wire sets or in some cases modified wire sets to make them fit better.

 

The last set I bought was from NPD – Ford wire set for 260 engine – going for that original look and they fit very nicely.

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.
