If you have the stock exhaust manifolds get a set of wires for a 1978 Corvette and run them down behind the manifolds. They will be the right length. LockDoc

Re: HEI conversion wires
Is it the spark plug wires? So with a 78 Corvette set, you can align them with the stock spark plug retainers on our year trucks?

Re: HEI conversion wires
Thanks Leon. I also have the hei set up on my trucks. And had a hard time finding the longer wires for it.

Re: HEI conversion wires
Routing the wires down and under as original just looks better topside to me. Pet peave I guess. Wires just laying over the top of the valve covers looks cluttered to me.
But yes the 75 to 78 Vette hei wires fit your engines.

Re: HEI conversion wires
I just picked up a set for my 71 with HEI, I got them for a mid 70's full size with a 454. They had plenty of length, and fit fairly well for off the shelf plug wires. I prefer to make them myself so they fit PERFECT
