hey ya'll,
I have a 1955 f100 with a 223 engine, and i cant find spark plug wires that are spec to fit it.
I was wanting to find yellow wired ones, but black will do fine also.
Anyone know a website or where to buy em?
Thanks

Don't think you'll find them in exact fit/length. I tried the same when I needed a set for my 215. You can always make your own.

I bought a universal angle boot six cylinder set with real wire wires and cut / soldered the set on my 215 together. It is still working fine 10 years later.

You can buy the flathead 8 set and cut them to length.

I bought a set at NAPA awhile back....any car or truck 223 should be the same. Even early 240-300 six wires would probably work....

I too bought my 223 wires from NAPA, fit fine. In fact I ended up with one wire extra!
