1967 Johnson 6HP CD24 Spark Plug Wires

I am trying to find two new spark plug wire cables for a 67 Johnson 6HP. I cannot get a clear match on the part numbers for this. If I can get them made up instead of buying roll of wire that would be great!

Re: 1967 Johnson 6HP CD24 Spark Plug Wires

Some of the auto parts stores sell spark plug wires with the spark plug boot assembly pre-installed. They are available individually and come in various lengths. I just replaced the wires in my 1972 Johnson 65hp with a set of these and it cost me all of ten bucks.

I hate the ones that come with OMC coils because you have to assemble the spring clip and spark plug boot, making sure that the bit of wire that you have bared to make contact with the spring clip, stays in place. Frankly, this just seems lazy and cheap on the part of OMC/Bombardier to me. The premade units are much easier and are pretty foolproof - just screw them onto the post in the coil and you are done. If the coils are mounted on the side of the powerhead (yours aren't), a little dab of silicon around the wire, at the socket in the coil, isn't a bad idea.

Try here, they are only $3.95 with the boot and clip.

I tried the link and took me to a gearcase diagram. I have checked the part numbers (581027-'67;580339-'68) and the boot and cover does not seem to include the wire, rather that is purchased separately(510642-'67)- yet with "not available" for the specific part number always coming up.
Thanks- I will try the local parts store- I imagine I should look for a specific type...which is the best? I have read 7mm and 8mm with a copper conducter any other specs?
