92 LT-1 Need plug wires, FLAPS no help
Trying to buy plug wires for my '92. I'm frustrated as can be with FLAPS!
Autozone has the wrong info in the computer, and can't give me the right ones. Their Optispark ends all are right angles instead of straight in. From what I can see, something with a right angle boot is quite apt to get chewed up by the balancer on a couple of the wires.
Advance Auto shows the AC Delco as out of stock, in fact everything is out of stock, order on line and ship to my home.
NAPA has 4 choices, 2 of which info is unavailable for, the other two "may" fit my vehicle, and I have to call the store for availability. And the NAPA store is far enough away I don't want to go there just on a fishing trip.
Does anybody have a specific brand and part number I can wave at these stores and have a reasonable chance of actually finding it? FWIW, my Vette is a driver, I don't need hi-performance-for-track wires nor fancy colored wires for show. Just something that will let the car run and I can actually put some miles on it!
Thanks!

Try Rock Auto, they have many choices of wire sets at all different price levels.

This. Get the originals from rock auto, summit, amazon or even your local GM dealership.
Why you are wasting your time with Napa, I have no idea.

Three in a row for Rock Auto, I'll give them a try. Thought of Summit, but was hoping for something local to be driving it this weekend. Oh well.....
Thanks guys, Rock it is.

Hey guys, flies on me! I badmouthed Autozone. Seems I took a Stupid Pill, the wires I got from them DO fit right, I was trying to do too many things at once. After the wife left for a baby shower, I got some other things done and had some lunch, a second look showed it was MY screw-up, not AZ's. Right bank wires are already on and they fit right. Will save the left bank for another day.
