John, Try G.T. Car Parts. They have the best price on wire sets. They may have what you need. 623-780-2200 |

It appears Magnecor makes a set of wire for the 348 series now. The only difference is that they dont come with the stock style connectors. If any of you out there knows what the difference between these two connectors is I would love to know.
Thanks,
John
Good to hear from you Bob sorry I missed out on getting together this summer we will hook up next summer for sure I promise! |

Bob,
What did Magnacor supply for the plug ends? 45 , 90, or straight ends? Are you using the OEM extenders? |

Last time I checked Magnacor did not make a set for the 348. The ones on my 308 are very well made, you can check the Magnacor website online catalog. |

John--i don't know much about 348's, but I just went through the search for plug wires for my 308 QV. I found an original set of Cavis wires, all assembled, boots, red insulation, and 2 coil wires for $249 at Evans Automotive in Ohio. I believe that Dennis McCann in Ohio has similar prices. Great price for original equipment. |

I also have heard that magnacor makes a awesome set for the 348 but dont have a clue as to what they can do for a 348. Anyone have any experience with them they can share?

Hey everyone,
I am looking at the task of replacing my plug wire on the 348 this winter and was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on a good set of aftermarket plug wires or if the best way to proceed was buying OEM wires. I know that www.italiancarparts.com has none OEM 8mm and 9mm wires for a very reasonable price compared to your typical Ferrari set that runs $500+. Any help from the panel of experts here would be greatly appreciated! |
