My old plug wires went through this hole. I'm am assuming the stuck them through first then put the ends on? I suppose I could pull the boots over the ends but..... |

You’ve got the wrong plug wires with the wrong ends and boots anyway, so I guess it doesn’t really matter.
BW ETA: Maybe I’m missing something. Is it really hard to find spark plug wires with the correct ninety degree ends? BW

Yeah, I was more interested in finding good quality than finding the 90 degree ones. But now that you mention it, I am not sure I have seen the 90's anywhere.

Not sure where you are, but advance auto parts around here sells accel plug wires with 90* boots. Just bought a v8 set so I can do both Jeeps.

These should work fine. Solid core wires, as per OEM. Cut to length.

Depends on the year of the Jeep, the old ones had no rubber boot on the spark plug.

You can also get plug wires at tractor supply that look pretty correct.

90 degree boots are available stand alone. Just switch the straight ones out.

90* or straight, the spark cares less or does the engine ....... My NON-rivet counting opinion 😁

Yeah, these will work fine. If I was doing a correct restore, I'd change them.

I ordered mine from The Brillman Company. They sell solid core and suppressor wires, straight or 90 degree ends. They actually sent me the wrong wires first (wrong ends), when I emailed them, they sent me the correct ones, no problem.

I got mine off an eBay seller. I had them made with resister wire since I plan to upgrade to electronic ignition at some point. Wires look great. He was supposed to use bare ends but messed up. So, I got them for free. If you go with resister wire, I would add an inch to the length since they are pretty stiff and didn't like to easily bend.
