Marine Plug Wires

[PITBoat]

Is that a thing or can I just use some 4.3L truck or car ones? What's on there just says 7mm Suppression. I think I know, but I'm asking anyway...

If the land vehicle ones are Ok, is there a diff. between ones for points ignition system and electronic?

Some wires are better than others. But don't just buy a premade car/truck set. Marine wires are longer to reach around the water jacketed exhaust manifolds. So if you want to avoid buying a marine set, you may want to make them up yourself. You can save a few bucks and get an exact fit. I'd get some wire retainers to hold them apart where they would touch,

First, marine wires are generally 12" longer or more than automotive wires

Second, usually the distributor cap is different,

There is only about $10 difference between a proper marine set and a good automotive set made with the same wire

Ok; I was thinking convenience mostly since everything I need has always gotta be ordered. I'll try to find exactly what I need for it then and order it.
