After installing the fantasic new spark plug wires (from QualityWires.com) on my Gen. III engine, I found out that the OEM wire looms were not large enough in diameter to handle the new wires.
I drilled out a few, worked my fingers to the bone trying to close them with 5 wires inside, and broke a couple of the looms during my adventure.
With my local Dodge dealer continuing their quest to be original, they are once again the only one in the country that doesn't carry that part in stock.
So I ordered 5, thinking I'd have to drill them out as well....and break a couple more.
To my surprise, the wire looms that showed up were a new design and no drilling is required! QualityWires.com wires fit without any modification!
So, now you don't have to relegate yourself to finding multiple V8 looms and calculating for the lowest common demominator.....they only have 1 pack of the color you want....they can order....
Forget that!!!!

To help distinguish between the two Dodge looms, the new looms will have a circular area on the top and the part number on the actual part.
The catch at the top was re-designed as well. It's much more secure and prevents 'side slippage'.
The downside: They're almost $8 each, and the Gen. III engines take 13 of them.
Props go to VCA members Tom Sessions for helping me find the part number & AB for answering the phone on a Sunday.
