I agree that the plug wires never seem to fit perfectly. I ordered a custom s=
et from A specialty shop and had them cut the wires 12 inches longer that st=
andard. I asked them to only terminate the spark plug end and leave the dist=
ributor end unterminated. Then I custom fit them and using a purpose built c=
rimp tool,  I added the brass end terminals.=20
Tomorrow I will send you the end result on my Series 200 Griffith if you=E2=80=
=99d like to see it.=20
It is definitely worth the time to do it right and custom cut each plug wire=
