m38a1 ignition wires

[bl5211a]

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.

Hello Bill,
Thanks for the offer. I have ordered a set already.

Bill, I do have another set that are to long for the m38a1. Could they maybe be correct for your jeep?

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.

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.

Both ends are 90 deg elbows.

Both ends straight.
