O.E.M. RED PACKARD PLUG WIRES....


Recommended Posts

Posted

I'm noticing thru pics, that some of the 3.1's and alot of the 3.4's came factory with three red plug wires for the front three cylinders and the back three in black all with the name Packard.

I assume this was a div. of Gen motors and they supplied the wire sets. Can you still get this combination of wires today?

no, you cannot buy the original Packard Electric wires anymore, pretty sure they got absorbed into Delphi or one of the other GM companies forever ago. New AC-Delco wires are all black too.

 

However Prestolite makes a set of the proper colored black/red wires for the 3.4 DOHC. I have a set and they fit and work pretty good. Here's a pic of my engine with them on it.

That's a shame.... They are a nice contrast from the other engine wires and other black tubing...

I think you didn't read my post all the way... you can still buy them, they just dont have the cylinder markings on them or say PACKARD ELECTRIC. same colours though.

IIRC the 3.1s never got them, it was just a 3.4 DOHC thing as I recall. I believe Magnacore makes red sets for the 3.1, I have a set in my basement to someday put on my TGP.
