Saw those also. There's a set for sale on Kijiji down East. Guy wants $150 CDN so thanks for the post as it's much cheaper going direct.

When I did my Barracuda I went to NAPA and they asked me what brand, I said I don't care long as they are black.

It's Not Going to Shift Itself
Why is the #5 wire in front of the dipstick tube?
I don't suffer from OCD as much as some here, but...
I needed a set recently and was surprised to find no one in town carried them. I ordered a set from Summit Racing.
Probably not a bad idea to keep an extra set on hand

Good eye, not sure why its like that. That was the best picture I have of the spark plug boots and probably a couple years old now. In that pic don't have the right steering column or the inspection shield cover on the bellhousing either, so it was still a work in progress.

In the world of C-body B/RB plug wires, there are some subtle differences year-to-year. My '66 Newport had 90 degree plug boots on most plugs, but our '72 400 had the famous 135 degree boots on #7 & #8 plugs, which took extra care to not break. Earlier years had straight boots on #6 and #8 plugs, with the snap-on white plastic insulators that snapped into the valve cover brackets.
In the Standard Motor Parts website, they have accurate illustrations for each of their wire sets, so you can wee what is what for each set.
The wires I've been using with great success on everything I have were the Borg-Warner Cool Wire wire sets. Prior to that, the Sorensen Mono-Mag wire sets. Both are the magnetic suppression wire with the spiral monel center conductor. Less resistance, but quiet radio reception (maybe a little ignition noise with the hood up). Last set I got was about $25.00 at PepBoys. Now, they are "BWD" brand rather than Borg-Warner.
Whatever works for what you're trying to accomplish.
