Spark Plug Wires for '80 350

Hi Guys:

 

I am hoping this is a simple question for someone.

 

I have a '77 JTR Z w/ a 350 (5.7l). Mallory distributor is under the hood release.

 

I went in to the parts store, and they only have wires by "vehicle".

 

Does anyone know what the closest application would be for a full set of wires in this case? I will go nuts trying to compare lengths.

 

Also, while the current wires are Mallory 8mm, can I get away with Bosch or similar, or will I loose a lot in performance?

 

Thanks,

get a good set of universal plug wires. They come extra long and u cut and crimp on ends to whatever lenth you want. Get a good set of wire looms so u can get it right the first time. Go one at a time and u should be ok.

Also, most electronic type distributors wont work with the cheap solid core wires, u will need spiral core type wires most likely, check with your dist. manufacturer for type of wire you need.

someone else want to comment on the mallory- bosch thing?

Yeah I say buy a decent set of wires and cut them to fit. Thats what I did. I had to do it though to rought the wires on the drivers side so they would fit over/around the custom header though.

 

Its not that hard to do and they arent too expensive. I paid $49.00 for a set of "Taylor 8MM" wires and they are blue like my car! 8)
