|
|
I’ve been linking for the correct plug wires for my 71. With 90deg fittings at the distributor and the long plug connector ends. I’ve not found a source yet.
The carb linkages could use new socket ends. The linkages are out of stock everywhere. I’m wondering if 6mm sockets from Porsche or bmw would have the same threaded end.
Any suggestions? _________________ 1971 1302LS Convertible (RHD) owned since '74

Not sure about the carb linkages. But here's some wires that should work.

I was going to suggest them (ISP) or Bill and Steve's. That was who I got mine from years ago when I need a set of rods with ends. I don't know if they're still in business or if they have any in stock if they are. _________________ Bob 65 Notch S with Sunroof

I saw the the isPwest wires but they seemed to have the short Typ 1 style plug connectors. I thought the Typ 3s had longer connectors to enable more easily pulling them out without having to yank on the wires. In my search I did come across some longer connectors being sold separately but I didn’t book mark them. _________________ 1971 1302LS Convertible (RHD) owned since '74
