Thanks guys. I ordered the Black Extenders from GT parts. $12.00 each.

All I know is that on the 3 308's I had, they were black and the 2 328's are red and a different size. Either type is prone to shorting out.

Charles, Bret is correct about the tele. no. of G.T.. They have always had the best prices. I got eight extenders for my 79 carbed 308 GTS,which were black. I paid about $8.00 ea. about a year ago.

The red wires should not be confused with the red extenders. Actually, the wires are black with red plastic shields. The red extenders are resistor-type. It is my understanding that they came on 328's. They will work on earlier QV's, as evidenced by Charles' Mondial.

Bret good to see you back. How is the 308 coming along? My carb 308 has black extenders. HTHs.

308QVs have red extenders. Carbed 308s have the ones with the black rubber boots, I think 2v injected 308s are like the carbed ones. The 4 valves have the red ones though I'm sure.
I have GT Car Parts number as 1-623-780-2200, I never call them though. Try AW Imported Auto 1-800-392-6833 also, TRutlands (www.trutlands.com).

All - my '84 Mondial Cab. (308 QV) started running a little rough so I replaced the plugs and noticed that one extender was shorting and another was cracked. The extenders on the front bank were all RED with 0 resistance. The back bank had all BLACK extenders with 0 resistance (the black were about 1/4 inch shorter). Which are the correct ones (RED or BLACK? - Short or Long?). I read in a past thread that the BLACK are for 308s and the RED for 328s - is this corect? I'm using NKG BP7EVX plugs. Also, I noticed in past threads that GT Car Parts was mentioned as having good prices - does anyone have their number?
