Have seen these on ebay (yeah,I shoulda bot em http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif). They are performance ignition wires ( vintage ) and are a muted orange color. Must be in excellent shape/serviceable. Will consider other period correct I. wires.

Thanks http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

Sam, I think these might be what you are looking for.

They are orange Delco wires.

Thanks John. Do you know what era these came from? The ones I had seen before were a much more muted shade of orange like you saw on the L88 'vettes. These look pretty cool though.

Can't say for sure as to the year, but I worked at a parts store that sold Delco remy ignition from 1972 thru 1981 and those wires were available back then for sure. I've seen some Autolite / Motorcraft bulk ignition wire that was more of a flat orange though.

Big thanks to Bill Rudow from our neighbors up north. He pm'd me awhile back saying that he thot he had what I wanted. Boy was he right! These are the ones I had been looking for and are date coded just where they need to be (8/71). These will be coupled to the Roof's Mallory ignition which is being restored at this time. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif
