Does anyone have a current part number for a spark plug wire set for a 282/288 c.i. engine? I want a set with terminals attached at both ends. I do not want to use a universal set. I have checked parts x-reference-none listed. Thanks

If no one comes up with a better option Dwight Heinmullerpackardparts.org sells sets with terminals on both ends. The heading would indicate his sets were only for V8s but in the description is mention of sets for other years. One caveat if you are ordering for a 42-7 Clipper is his set has an issue because the coil wire is for engines with coils near the dist, not the coil on the firewall as Clippers used. Other than that the rest of the set fits well and seems to be a quality item.

Also, remember that the Packard plug wires didn't have spark plug boots until 1953.

I made my own from some Packard 440 wire and vintage terminals/boots I found.

I think that Max Merritt makes Packard wire sets at well.

Thanks for the reply. I'm looking for a premade set with boots at both ends . I thought maybe someone on this forum had found a old/vintage set that would work on a Packard eight. The radio suppression feature is what I need and a premade set ( wire length close to original) would mean less work. Thanks
