65Camino and Ihave made a past time out of trying to get wires for the LeMans. I finally had to settle on yellow Accel wires. While they perform flawlessly I would prefer something with a more original look which was charcoal grey wire with orange angle boots.
We try 73 Chevelle and we get discontinued, we try 73 LeMans and we get Pontiac wires of course.
Where do I find original look Chevy small block angle boot wires?

I wanted to do the same my car has a Accel dist (non HEI) and I want straight to fit headers MSD is supposed to have some new BLACK ones
The MSD 8.5mm Super Conductor Wire is "the" performance wire.Engineered from the inside out, the 8.5 offers everything you have everwanted in a wire; incredibly low resistance without electronic interference! In a single 12 inch length of Super Conductor Wire there is only 40 - 50 ohms of resistance! That is the lowest resistance of any helically wound wire. To accomplish this, we use a copper alloy conductor due to it's great voltage carrying capabilities. The low resistance results in less loss in spark energy so more reaches the spark plug. The conductor is wound extremely tight around a special center core. So tight in fact, that there is over 40 feet of conductor wrapped into a single foot of plug wire. This winding procedure, combined with a ferro-magnetic impregnated center core, produces an extremely effective Electro Magnetic Interference (EMI) "choke". This choke, or suppression capability, keeps the EMI inside the wire where it cannot interfere with other electronics on your vehicle. The outer sleeve that surrounds the conductor assembly is just as impressive. A proprietary blend of silicone and synthetic material produce a sleeve that is highly resistant to high heat as well as abrasion and tears. The MSD 8.5mm Super Conductor

I bought a set of black ones for the 66 beaumont last year at Young's Automotive in Port Colborne- Hill-Boles in Welland usually can get whatever you need also
I just bought a set of wires for my wifes truck ('04 Ford ....yeah I said it) and they were the grey color, got them from Carquest. Worth a shot......

Ray, 12043785 (508S AC Delco) is the changeup number for 8907291 which is the original part number for wires for your car. I can't promise they will be black, they may be orange. It's been a while since I sold a set of those. Still readily available from any GM or AC Delco dealer.
I am in the Chevelle book but as you know, it's the same wire set.
Go back to the guy who told you discontinued and check. He needs to try a bit harder to look them up and check stock. It's in the book and GM shows 3 in Woodstock.
(Edited because I think I was a bit too harsh on your parts guy with my original statement!)

I hope it works out for you. I agree with you. A car like your's needs to have OEM looking wires.

Solid or hydraulic lifter Corvette wires.......?????!!!!
Wow Carl you are so good, BUT City Buick Chevrolet will have them in ONE HOUR, $68.90. Now if I can only slip away when they arrive.....
PS: Apparently there are 114 Chevrolet applications 1970 - 1974 for these wires and 16 GMC applications, 1971 & 1972.
I wonder if they are count Canadian Pontiacs? I don't think so because the Chevrolet engines don't even show up when you search Pontiac LeMans.

I put them on after dinner, wow what a nice look and great fitment too, those Accel wires were all so long hard to keep tidy. These are almost invisible when you open the hood, real nice.
Do you think the engine is running better? I do.
PS: Carl, get Carl to look up your set and get the numbers, the dealer guys were helpful but when I asked him to verify there were the ones it was an adventure. Carl was bang on, just call, order and picjk up. You can verify using the AC Delco site, but no Canadian Pontiacs are there so go with 427 66 Biscayne.
