Go with AC Delco wires and a dab of dielectric on the terminals

What parts store sells the AC Delco wires and aren't they made in China now?

 

[Clone TIE Pilot]

You also may want brass terminal distributor cap and rotor, O2 sensor, and PCV valve.

From where?

You going to modify it or leave it bone stock with GM parts? Makes a difference, IMO. If you go aftermarket, just go down to autozone and tell them what you want and get whatever they give you. Otherwise, you'll need to do a bit of digging.

GM p/n 5613957, aka R45TS spark plugs.

I'd search for the Acniter II series, as those are the OG green ring plugs. But the newer ones are fine, too.

12073928 is a set of spark plug wires. AKA ACDelco #708N

Here's a good set. Made in USA. Although they do not have the rubber tabs like originals for the distributor cap ring.

You want a Delco O2 sensor. AFS-16P, AFS-20 or AFS-21 will work. They changed GM part numbers like they did underwear. Once a week. Get an old school one, not one of the newer jobbies.

PCV- 6487779, Delco # CV774C. Rockauto.com has them for $6 and change, but this one is 9.95 + tax shipped and it's the earlier version it appears.

I would do a google search. Don't know about China deal but AC Delco sets the specs.

 

[olds307 and 403]

AC Delco stuff has been made in Mexico or China for years. Most of the older stuff is better, if you can find it. The AC Delco aluminum contact distributor cap suck. The Standard, Blue Streak, Accel and even the no name Chinese are better. The wires look OK but there are many other options out there. The AC Delco and Autolite plugs are OK but not as good since being made in China. I like NGK myself. Good luck.
