Hardware stores usually have a pretty good selection.
find one about the right diameter and maybe a bit to long. You can always snip it to fit.

Thanks, I just made it last evening. Since joining CF my avatar has been a box of my '72's pistons to indicate it's in the rebuilding stages. I may go back to that after the GIF's newness wears off.
Backstory: A few days ago I put the factory-style braided spark plug sheaths on my '72's wires. The way the factory placed the wires into the valve cover and distributor grommets is not very visually appealing with the separations and cross-overs to address this tendency for 5 & 7 sparks to jump. Out of curiosity I was wanting to see the firing pattern to know why spark jump is prevalent with 5 & 7. The GIF helped to visually explain why that is the case and why no other cylinders have the same issue.

67:72,
Cross-Fire Induction.
Supposedly, in a completely dark garage, idling, you can spritz some water on the plug wires and actually see the event.
More common with cheap plug-wire sets. Or wires not separated.
