1972 Dodge Charger SE 440HP spark plug wire routing

[Kobrak]

So I finally got the thing fired up yesterday and now it is time to get everything buttoned up. I am missing a few plug wire holder doohickys and I am wondering if the enclosed pic is the proper one to get from classic industries?


MN2224 is the part # that contains the connectors/fasteners.

Also, as much as I search, I just can’t seem to nail down the correct routing??

The info. NO CAR2023 posted is what you need and the pictures of the engine afterwards is very good except your 72 should have electronic ignition which dictates Orange wires.

Were the original wires for a 73 & newer originally orange? I’ve been scratching my head trying to locate the correct wires for my 73 GTX. I’ve seen both black and orange with the correct part#.

Electronic ignition wires were Orange, I see some black reproductions but haven't a clue why.
I usually find "NOS" on E-bay with dates in the 80's or 90's.

Should the boots also be orange or were they black? They should be a Chrysler branded wire correct? Not like GM or AMC that used Packard wires. I've tried to find a good picture of an engine compartment from an original dealer advertisement, and I haven't found anything I could use as a good reference.

First we need to know what engine we are speaking of?? I can only tell you for sure that big blocks are Orange wires and spark plug boots but small blocks may not be.

1973 GTX 440. What year is the engine you posted 71? I have the original "45" sticker on my brake booster if you would like to compare to the reproductions. I have seen a couple different version reproduced but never one like my original, not sure if they changed thru the years is why I ask. Not trying to highjack the OP's thread
