Guest ckmoss01 Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 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, CMOSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72zcar Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 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?

80LS1T Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 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) Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
