Hello,

I have a '70 Fastback with Weber IDFs, mounted on CB type 3 manifolds. Clearance for spark plug cables is tight. Are there plug wires that fit well with this setup? I think my current wires are Bosch, I could use a new set of wires.

Thank you,

Stan

Bosch no longer makes them.

Even if they don't make them, there are a ton out there. You can always make them too with good ends

Yeah, I figured tracking down a set of those should not be too difficult. Is there something that fits the CB manifolds better? Distributor/coil are nothing special, regular blue coil with 009 or something similar.
