Arlo........yer sparkie wires need to be soft and flexible. When I replace the sparkies on my eazy starting 6-volt 52-8N, I had my 9yo son doo itt. I bought some soft and flexible COPPER-CORE sparkie wires from a HOT-ROD shop so I had right-angle booties under the gas tank. (think they were fer Chevy-V8) Just run the wires and cut to length. Remember the firing order is 1,2,4,3. I wouldn't futz with tube on early 4-nipple dizzys. Just tye-wrap them to the tube. The INSULATION on modern sparkies is so much better than the early 9/2/8N's. Recommend AutoLite 437's gapped 0.025. ........HTH, Dell, yer self-appointed sparkie-meister

I don't buy made up sets any more. Napa sells copper core wire by the foot. They also sell both metal ends and the rubber boots you need to make up your own wires.

You can make them the exact length you need and always have enough parts on hand to make up a new wire should the need arise.
