We are authorized by Chrysler LLC ®
to produce these
reproduction spark plug wire sets!

Exact reproduction spark plug wire sets are manufactured to the original blueprint specifications, and are correct in every aspect: wire type & length, terminals, boots (shape, angle & color), factory script, & braiding (when applicable). Our Mopar reproduction sets are also date-coded.

These reproduction sets are identical to the spark plug wires as they would have appeared on the vehicle when it shipped from the factory.  For those of you concerned about having your car judged, our reproduction spark plug wire sets will pass all judging standards. They will look, fit and perform exactly as original.

AUTHENTIC EXACT REPRODUCTIONS
In order to satisfy the most discriminating enthusiast/restorer, we offer these authentic reproduction spark plug wire sets. These wires provide the finishing touch for any original or restored vehicle. They are built using original Chrysler/Packard Electric blue prints, cut to the exact lengths to provide a tailored look, and contain the correct factory script on the wire as well as the correct spark plug boots. (See the information to your right on how to order Chrysler date coded wires.)

THE CHRYSLER METHOD OF
DATE CODING SPARK PLUG WIRES
    
Packard Electric was a primary supplier of spark plug wires to Chrysler Corporation from the late 1940's to the early 1980s.  In fact, not until the late 1964 / early 1965 model year that Chrysler requested Packard produce their spark plug wires with "Chrysler Corporation" scripted on the wire.  It is very common to find Chrysler vehicles, prior to the late 1964 model year, with original spark plug wires that have Packard-type script as found on GM vehicles.

In January 1961, Packard Electric began date coding spark plug wires for their own internal identification. The date coding identified the quarter and year in which the wires were produced. As an example, a wire date coded as 1-67 would have been produced in the first quarter of 1967.

Research has shown that most cars had spark plug wires installed that were dated from 1 to 4 quarters prior to the build date of the car. This would validate that a vehicle having a spark plug wire set dated from 1 to 12 months prior to the build date of the car.

Our sets are available using dating of First (1) and Third (3) quarter of each year starting in 1964. Second and fourth quarter dating is not available, nor are they necessary due to the acceptable variance in time between wire set production and the vehicle's build date, a spread of 1 to 12 months. A vehicle production run of a specified model actually began in September or October of the previous model year.

Example: The first 1966 models actually left the assembly line in September or October of 1965. Keeping this in mind, you should determine when your car was manufactured and order the date code (year and quarter) for your spark plug wires accordingly.  The chart to your right can be used as an aid in determining the correct wire set to order.
