Local auto parts store and you don't have to compete with mail house stores with wrong parts...

Thanks for the advice. I,m a first time Vette owner and don't want to make the costly mistakes I've made in the past.

Cheers

The OEM AC Delco wires are still available. The part number is 508N. They come pre-cut and assembled, ready to install. You should be able to get them from any auto parts store, that carries Delco parts. The complete set sells for about $45.

Like the sticker on your air cleaner says, "Keep your GM car, all GM"!
