I find alot of the assemble yourself plug wires on line but I am looking for a set that is good quality (copper?) that is already assembled. I have found a few sets that are already assembled but are stainless I believe,and I am under the impression copper is the better choice.
Anybody have a source for these either on line or at a store?
Thank you.

if yuo must have pre-assembled. get the silver wired ones... whatever it is..

The key is using a metal core wire on a low-high voltage system is the tickety. not using the carbon core/impregnated/fiberglass resistor / supressor wires.

ANY metalic plug wire you find will conduct better than those supressor wires.

Try your local NAPA Auto Parts store. They probably have the solid copper ones used on older cars instead of the later resistor type. I have found these generic type parts are a lot less expensive at a parts store rather than the name brand tractor dealers, usually the same stuff as no tractor manufacturer makes that type stuff themselves. At NAPA ask for the fleet discount if you are a farmer or a military discount if retired military. The mark-up on this stuff is more than you realize. Probably 40-50% on this part. I have shopped at NAPA exclusively for over 50 years.

i don't think he wants the generic ones you have to cut to length and make by soldering the ends on.

There are plenty of auto factory molded end sets. They might even have ones specific to the Ford tractors as they have been around a long time. On-line or a phone call will settle it.
