Hello everyone,
Back in December, I made the mistake of bidding on Mallory 8mm Spark Plug Wires for
my ’56 Chrysler 354 hemi on ebay without reading the listing as closely
as I should have. He said the wires would fit the 354 and 392 hemi
engines, but the shaft on the plug wires is over 9 inches long compared to the
original shaft of 5 inches. I cannot use these wires without them extending
out from the top of the valve covers by over 4”. As a result, I am still
driving my Chrysler around on the occasional nice weekend with plug wires
likely manufactured before the first Chrysler bailout (‘79?).
I asked if I could return them but he wanted to charge me
shipping and restocking fees that were almost half of what I paid for them ($60
+ s/h).
Does anyone know what these wires would be used for? A
custom hotrod perhaps? The wires are now here in Australia with
me (and the car) so I am looking at selling them over here but would like to
know what applications they can be used for when I list them.
Additionally, does anybody know of a good supplier of trunk
floor extensions for a ’58 Imperial convertible?
Thanks!
Regards,
Eric
