You can make your own with Packard 440 wire. I'm guessing your old wires are glued in with epoxy, but can be removed with a little work. then epoxy them back in. If you can, run resistor spark plugs with the solid core wires, to prevent crossfire, arcing, or shocks, otherwise the spark will follow the easiest path to ground!

From my checking on parts needed, it looks like the 84-813715A 1 wire kit is the one you need. A call to the dealer should get you all the info as to the length of all the wires before ordering them. JMO
