Re: Plug Wires???

Contact the sales folks at Summit or Jegs and order yourself a set of "you cut to fit" wire's and looms or retainers. Invest $20 in a stripper / crimp tool if your just building the set for this car. That way you can take care of and avoid the slack and extra wire that's always built into the one size fits all sets... Brand names are personal choice, I like Taylor and MSD. Same goes for plugs. I've tried many and usually stick with what I like, and what I can afford to replace in a year or two.

Good luck

Re: Plug Wires???

Check your local auto parts store for a set of "Borg Warner Select" wires. Get ones for an 88-93 Chevy 350 TBI truck, I think they are part number CH8833. They are 8mm in diameter, while the ones for our cars are 7mm in diameter. They cost about $40, compared to a set of "high performance" wires that are $80 or more.

For spark plugs, I just tell the counter guy I need Bosch Platinums for a 91 Chevrolet Corvette with the 350 TPI engine. The ZZ4 and L98 Corvette heads are the same.

Not all trucks have AIR. Yes the wires will fit.
