Where can I buy GM non HEI plug wires?
 

Guys, Where can I buy GM non HEI plug wires?

I have some nos gm BBC sets purchased for 60's BBC but they are dated 1977. Not sure what you are lookin for.??

Looking for GM wires for my 70 Z28 (350). Does not need to have the correct date but must be new. I'm breaking down at 4500 rpm at WOT.
I notice a weak spark with one of my plug testers.
I've changed:
fuel filter
plugs
points
condensor
rotor
dist cap

Sorry Mark. I cannot help you with a gm small block set.

no problem, thx anyways

Sounds like a possible coil failure too, often erratic at higher revs..
Is the weak spark on only one lead...and have you tried running it at night, in the dark looking for sparks?.
Best of luck!.

No sparks jumping in the dark. I tried 3 different coils and have 9 volts at the + side of the coil to GND with the engine idling, and when I increase the RPM, the volts increase. Also my mechanical advance is working with the timing light. A delco plug wires tester says their all in the ok green zone, but I think it's just checking for breaks or large resistance.

Another tester I have looks like this guys http://www.mr2.com/TEXT/DavidKucharczyk/n1k_80.jpg and if I have it set between the plug and wire and set the dial to 30,000v I get no spark. But at 20,000v I do, so that's weak. Also with another tester that I touch the wire with and the tester should glow if the spark is strong, I see a weak light and hardly any at some boots. I also did the test with the plug wire set on the exhaust manifold to see how strong the jump is. It's not great. So I need a set of wire and hope that's the problem. My Taylor Spiro Pro wires are over 10 yrs old.

Last week I could hit 6,000 rpm in 1,2,3 before letting off.

Found this, are these good wires?http://www.lectriclimited.com/spark_...production.htm

If one wire's spark seems worse than the rest, swap it with the strongest spark one and retest to see if the problem moves and is truly the wire that's bad..
Also, if you've gapped your new points open enough already and are wondering about distrib. bushing wobble, sometimes adjusting points gap open more than spec will strengthen the weak cyl. spark..

I just called Classic Industries http://www.classicindustries.com/ about shipping and they ship UPS. Well, I'd like to hear what other Canadians who have experienced a shipment from UPS. The last time I bought something from the US via UPS, they wanted the same amount for UPS fees as the part. Has this changed?
What else can I do? I need wires that cost 39.95.

Anything coming into Canada valued at less than $50 is Duty free.. The only way I've found to take advantage of this and avoid broker fees also taxes is to always ship via regular Postal mail.. Also make sure to tell the shipper to note only the value of the item itself (not w/ shipping etc) on the little sticker that goes on the outside of the package..
If multiple items from the same place exceeds the $50 thing, it's worth breaking it up into individual packages..
Also it's not a foolproof way either as every now and then you have to pay a fee and for no good reason too..but I've just always paid them as lots of stuff w/ even high values seem to slip through without incurring duty and texes anyway..
