Good Day All
With the GTO out for the rest of the summer. Attention has turned to the '68 Bee and the '65 Newport. The Bee is ready for the trip to the Moper show at National Trails (this used to be the Mopar Nationals) in a week, so its back to the Newport.
I purchased the Newport last April from Wisconsin, Drove to Ohio (via the ferry from Milwaukee to Muskegon was not driving anywhere near Chicago). Drove great, no issues averages between 15 and 16 mpg. Equipped with a 383 and Stromberg 2 bbl, it is a nice cruiser. It now has a set of plug wires that appear to be from several sets.
I plan on keeping it a close to stock as possible. Which brings me to the plug wires. I see lots of 8MM wires available, but the stock wire supports are 7MM. I have used Firecore wires in the '68 with no issues, but they fit TIGHT in the factory supports. Is there a preferred brand of 7MM (correct boots) or are there 8MM wire supports available?
Thanks to all who respond.
