Friggin plug wires! Mopar Performance P4529797

I got the wires from local mopar shop. Bonus is the METAL repop shift button! My orig plastic one has all the chrome peeling off it.
I was able to lay my hands on one $55. I thought it would be plastic but chromed metal. Very nice.
Anyway the wires I got are "Standard" brand 9985. Blue Streak? ? Ignore the "EL140" sticker on the box. 7mm
I haven't tried to install yet. I think.they were $50 for.the set.
I'll try them and see.
I don't like the looks of the orange wires with the red block.
If I keep the orange MP set they will go on the 69 barracuda.
#2 wire runs right under carb linkage.

Took the MP ones off. Newest ones look bettet in my opinion. Still gotta route them a little better.
Wish they had orange plug ends.

I purchased the same set for my 360 in my Duster from Mancini and they sucked . 3 wire to short .

Granted the mp wires are obviously shorter than existing. But sometimes too many short wires reflect the fact that the distributor/rotor may not be clocked "properly"
In all fairness, you're not "sticking it to Chrysler FCA", they don't care or they would have resolved this long known issue YEARS ago. They'll just resell to one of us brethren who will have to deal with it.
Case scenario: I would hate to see the poor schmuck who winds up with that set from "that place" in New Hampshire trying to get it straightened out!
I think mine came from Car Quest but that was over a decade ago. Black wires, orange boots. Stock coil location though.
The dealer used to order me 2 sets so I could do a car. Then they would send them back defective. He said that way they wouldn’t be resold. Kim
I had bought these for my stock 340 rebuild. I didn't listen to the Summit reviews that they are WAY too long for a SBM. But they sure are!! I sent them back and bought a comparable Moroso set #9881M. You have to cut and crimp these but they have MORE than enough wire!!
USA made great quality and price if u need any more soon , he has Big Block also .

Hey Man, I was just here surfing and.... lol
Not sure if 67 had red or black boots, but I know the wires themselves were black.
Always like seeing old posts come back from the dead. The dealership came good for them and I highly doubt they would be resold. Probably be on the quarterly "destroy" list from Ma Mopar. I worked for CAT. Had to send pics of destroyed warranty parts/pieces.....run the forklift over them. Occasionally a loader/backhoe when one was in the yard

just to make it complete i "liked" @4spdragtop 's original post
Me too! On a lot of these forums, posts get deleted over time. At least here, they cam come back up and we can reignite the argument all over again. LMAONot sure if 67 had red or black boots, but I know the wires themselves were black.

I agree about the bulk wire. That's how we used to do it when I was a kid. THe local parts house had plug wire on spools. We'd just go get X feet of plug wire and the ends and make our own up. That's how everybody did it before the ready made sets came out. Summit still sells it by the spool. Here's 100 feet of 8mm for a little more than a good ready made set.

Well, when I get advice to " Stop the Insanity, Now!" I feel like I'm getting free Mental Health advice! Lol just kidding... Beautiful how God does things...one door closes, and another opens. The Gal and I scored a Lil job that would have kept us Rolling till the end of Jan.. hourly.. but the Jeep being crashed ended that. The Guy actually gave us a week! Cool of him. So I lost that one.. then An investor called me, to do a house in Winter Haven, so put the Clutch in her 94 Jap Bowtie, (remember, I posted here for help) been sitting so long the tag lapsed ( she came to visit and got stranded, lol) finished that yesterday. Got 19 doors to pick up. An Isusu Amigo ain't gonna cut it. The At Fault Drivers Insurance FINALLY called today bout a rental... for an extra 4.88 a day ( outta pocket) I scored a Chebbie Colorado. And BOTH are a really Big Blessing right now...Another Blessing was, believe it or not, Sherwin Williams! I went in the local to get some paint for another job, they had me fill a Credit App. My First Commercial Credit acct! So I was able to " Juggle" some things and pay the electric.. heck , I got better paint, without going to Home Depot and standing inline...called it in. I'll pay them outta the profit.. Hope You and Kitty are doing great!
Steve then you could get something like this.

Yeah, you'll have a little more in them than ready made sets, but they'll be what you want.
