Is a spark plug wire the same for a 71 Johnson 60 hp as a 85 hp?

Guys,
I am looking for a spark plug wire for a 71 60hp johnson. I found one very cheap for 71 85 HP johnson from the pictures they look the same but they have different part numbers. Are these the same or is it just maybe one is longer which I do not think will be a issue.

I assume that you're speaking of the plug wires that have the screw on brass connectors. The different part numbers pertain to to different length wires. Make sure that you don't purchase one that is too short.

It looks like it is actually longer which I dont think it will make a difference I was more worried about the screw in piece being the same size but it looks like they are.
