Spark Plug Wire Replacement

[Ralph Esposito (37280)]

I'm about to replace spark plug wires on my 67 SB. Any suggestion for replacement wires, ie mfgr, type of wires, dated vs not dated.

It really depends on your use for the car. Obviously if you are showing it at NCRS events, dated are your only real answer.
However if you are driving the car, and you are using the ignition shielding and plug shields, I would suggest Delco wiring. It is now excellent quality and will be of use for many miles. It is also easily available at most Delco part houses and is also very reasonable.

If you elect to go with undated wires of any brand, be sure the set you get is specifically for a Corvette of the vintage you have and not generic sb Chevy. The Vette wires are longer due to the ignition shielding.

I picked up a set of dated wires for my 65 BB from Lectric Limited. Nice wires but very fragile. Handle with care.

If you don't plan on showing the car I would contact Summit Racing and go with a good quality set that is for your motor.

If you are not going to show your car and don't mind the blue color I recommend the Moroso wires. They come packaged specific for your car and already have the molded ends ready to install. I have been using a set on my 68 for over 12 years.

Re: Spark Plug Wire Replacement

Thanks for all the response. We all your input I decided that dated wires were not necessary at this time. I ended up buying AC Delco wires specfic for my 1967 Corvette. I haven't installed them yet. That will be this weekends project. I understand they could be a bear to install. If anyone has advice on installing the wires please post. Thanks again!
