1973 Deere 500 spark plug wire help

Post by DBOZ »

Hey, been a reader for quite some time, and finally registered. I am trying to update my spark plug wires. Just need input on what kind/size I need or if there is a package all done allready. I have the NGK boot tops. But no one is helpful in selling me just plain jane spark plug wire.
Any advice would be AWESOME, since my old machine no one seems to have a database on what I can use.
Thanks in advance!

If it's green it's worth it.

Restoring your 400- I have a couple. As an investment for your retirement or kids college fund-not worth it. As a fun and fulfilling hobby - priceless. If you're careful with your costs you should recover most of your investment. As a hobby goes, it's cheaper than golf or fishing! It's still a hobby!
