    I didn't want to replace the entire braided set with repros as I've read poor reviews on them plus didn't want to spend $325+ on spark plug wires for the two cars. I kept the original braided sheaths and snaked the new wires through - no problems. The wires are marked "Packard" with plenty of length to custom fit to the routing and distributor connectors / boots for a multitude of distributor cap configurations. They even come with a crimping tool that I found to work pretty well.

    Very clever!

        I don't know how tight the original braiding was to the wire; I've read it was pretty tight but mine haven't been that way for the 30 and 40 years I've owned them. Working with them is like one of those Chinese finger traps. If you push or pull too hard the braiding tightens up and stops the wire from progressing. You have to almost allow the wire to "fall" through the braiding.
