Start with MaryJo or Grossmuller for the guides and clips (the clips could be made easily if needed). I used modern AC plugs from the Chevy dealer, um, AC44R I think (I can look it up to be sure) which work GREAT, if you want to spend the big bucks on NOS MaryJo lists them. I just spent the winter bringing the ignition system up to par, including fabricating a replacement for one missing plug wire shield, and locating an "always missing" Mallory external supressor on the distributor.

Grossmuellers I checked and no soap, but who is MaryJo?

Small correction...

I used modern AC43R plugs from the Chevy dealer this winter. So far, great!
