Re: [Chrysler300] WANTED: 300K Ram Spark Plug Wire Set and Rear Bow Tension C...

[lettercars@xxxxxxx]

David and All:
When I worked with the guy at Lectric Limited on the '60, '61 wires a  few 
years ago, he said they did not have any source at that time for  the 
special wires the 300K ram engine used.  I got the impression they  would be 
expensive if he had them. They were the brownish wires like the  Hemi used in 
those years.  The AMA specs note that the "300K option" used  "synthetic rubber 
with silicone jacket" wires instead of "hypalon  jacket"----whatever that 
means.  I just remember from the time when the  cars were new, that their 
wires were brownish.  In the later 70's when I  restored my ram K engine the 
closest thing I could find were some "orangish"  wires, so that is what it 
got.  (Probably should have looked harder.)   $875 still is a lot of money for 
the wires, even if they are original  type.

Hello  Noel,
Thanks for reaching out. My request to the group was prompted by the  fact 
that Lectric charges $950.00 for a repro/non-dated spark wire set for a  Ram 
K. (That dollar figure is NOT a typo; Part #6305-999). Unsure why a Ram  
set is $875 more than the $75 cost for a non-Ram K spark wire set. 

Any  other leads or suggestions from club members?

Hello David,

The preferred supplier  for repro spark plug wire sets is Lectric Limited.  
Here's the link to  their website. I purchased a set of wires from them 
last year for my F  crossram. Cost is approx $75, plus  shipping.

http://www.lectriclimited.com/mainpage.htm

You'll  see references to them in the Club archived emails. You'll also see 
that there  were some questions re the stampings on my wires vs the ones 
Gil Cunningham  had purchased from them, but the do produce a quality product, 
with typically  a short turnaround.

Dear Club  Members,
Currently in need of a NOS or reproduction set of 300K Ram spark  plug 
wires as well as two rear bow tension cables for the convertible top.  Might I 
be able to purchase these from a fellow member? The items would be  shipped 
directly to my mechanic in New Jersey. 

Appreciate any and all  help on getting this rare bird back on the road!

300KL'y,
