Does anyone have a recommendation on where to buy m38a1 ignition wires?
Is the $185 the going rate?

Brian,

I have a post going looking for M-38 ignition wires, so what I have might be OK for you. I believe they are for an M38A1, all straight connections, BUT there are only 3 good ones. The other one stuck and some damage to the rubber resulted.

Bill

According to Wes (El Supremo Guru), 3 of the wires are 19-3/4" long, and 1 is 23-3/4" long, all 4 are right angles, both ends!

BUT, glad to hear you're on your way to completion.

Bill

When ID'g plug wires many will interchange or work but original factory installations differed significantly between the M37, M38, M38A1/M170, and the M151.

M38:

7528173 Cyl # 1 23 3/4" long.
7528174 Cyl's # 2, 3, & 4 19 3/4" long.

Both ends are 90 deg elbows.



M38A1/M170:

8328449 4 Ea. 29" long.

Both ends straight.



M37:

Early engines up to eng sn 25519:

7528172 - 6 Ea. 24"

Eng sn's 25519 & up:

8328040 - 5 Ea. 24"
8328039 (superceded by 8741873) - 1 Ea. #1 cyl 22"

All three above are 90 deg. elbow one end and straight the other end.



M151 Series:

11660569-1 2 Ea. #3 & 4 cyl's.
11660569-2 1 Ea. #2 cyl.
11660569-3 1 Ea. #1 cyl.

As you can see below these are very short running 11" to 16".



M715:

11641027-1 Cyl # 1 18.5"
11641027-2 Cyl # 2 20"
11641027-3 Cyl # 3 22"
11641027-4 Cyl # 4 24"
11641027-5 Cyl # 5 29"
11641027-6 Cyl # 6 31.5"

All cable ends are straight.
