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
