Have used both of the below in 1940 and '47 Packards. Both
excellent companies, go the extra mile, tho' Potomac was in MD when i used them:

Apr 6, 2011 — Potomac Packard, P.O. BOX 117 , Tiger, GA, (706) 782-2345. ... Potomac Packard. 53 Packard Clipper wiring harness.
Got sparkplug wire from John at Brillman in VA. Good man, reasonable.
Tinned solid copper core Packard 440 with Rajah ends. My existing ignition wires a translucent sort from perhaps the '70s, either tinned solid copper or steel core, but after many heat cycles, thought it prudent to replace them. Black wires with "Packard 440" on them look nicer, and i like Rajah terminals. Couldn't care less what's "correct" because Packard wire is what remains of the original Packard Electric Co., Warren, OH, bought by GM in 1931, so something poetic about that.
Do
not get spark plug wire from the local parts house. It'll be carbonized thread suppressor wire. I leave the radio off, listen to those refined straight eights, relax.
But the above producers of complete wiring harnesses provide factory identical appearance with the added benefit of modern PVC beneath their historically correct sheathing.
