Date coded sparkplug wires

Does anyone know of a manufacturer that makes date coded wires after 1974? Im looking for 3Q79.

Hi Chuck,
I believe Lectric Limited is the supplier of the dated wires.

Alan

Curious, do your originals have one or two dashes in the date?

Thanks Alan. They only have wires date coded to 74. My original wires date code doesn't have dashes just spaces ( 3 Q 79) which is correct for my 80 which was built in Nov of 79. I'm not having any problems with them but was thinking about changing them out.

Test them with an ohm meter, 1K ohm per foot is the max resistance.
