A fair amount of searching has turned up little in the way of wire sets.
Shouldn't standard 50's Caddy/Olds/Stude wire sets be pretty much the same lengths & thus suitable?

I think most folks just buy bulk wire and the connectors and make their own, you can get it all at NAPA. Or you can buy a premade set from Dwight Heinmuller and probably from the usual Packard vendors as well. Or get an auto store "generic" or universal set. The only thing at all unusual about the original wire sets is the angle of the plug end, 135 degrees rather than the normal 90 or 180.

I sell Packard 1955 and 1956 ignition wire sets. They are made with Packard 440 wire (it says Packard on the wire every few inches; it's also made in the USA). They are cut to length, have all terminals attached, and are ready to install. See my website packardparts.org, or call me at
