    Any advice would be appreciated,

    Got the PM, have several sets on stock of the black wires, blue ones sold out, but black ones I can ship out immy, just sent another set to France for an M70.
    My ignition wires consist of 12 ignition wires between distributors and spark plugs + 2 wires between ignition coils and distributors = total 14. Not included, use the old ones: donuts, marten repeller, wiring plastic tube which holds the wires.

    As an FYI, I bought 2 sets from Rockauto and neither fit. They were both from Standard Motor Products and both required the tips of the plugs to be removed. But the proper new plugs do not have a removable tip. Ended up with a set from Turner that were actually from Bavarian (I don't think they had what I ordered, so they sent me these. They fit and I had waited long enough to get a set, so I went with it). The only thing I didn't like was the coil lead is a little short for the driver side. It doesn't reach going through the clamp thing on the MAF so I have to put it around the oil filter.

    I went with Rock auto, trouble with sensor rings, also wrong for the spark plugs, running some of each for now. Next set will be from Shogun.
