    My mechanic says that the wires are not for my car....or at least the ones in the picture are not correct. I will pass.

    Where can you get ignition wires reasonably for a 328?

    I have seen wires for a Chrysler Hemi used sucessfully on a 308 QV. Possibly the same for 328's. The wires come with their own boots and plug well extenders. The ends of the extenders need to be trimmed slightly for length.

    Unfortunately they do not look like a stock 328 wire at the point where they enter the head.

    The least expensive way is to make your own; it's very easy.

    Buy Cavis wire(that's what's on your car now if it's OE) from the dealer, most have it in bulk and the dealer should know how much you need. If your dealer doesn't stock it bulk, I know where you can get it.

    Reuse the sleeves and boots from your old wires.

    Donald,
    They should fit with no problem....ask you mechanic again, or call Kingsborne to confirm. They are used and endorsed by the mechanic on the "other site" and he says they are of very good quality. You reuse the sleeves and cap/well covers from your original set.

    Donald, I put Kingsbourne on my 308 but didn't like the look so I changed to Taylor, they look much better IMO. Both worked just fine on the 308. I may still have the Kingsbourne laying around, less than 100 miles on them. PM me if you want to try them.

    My dealer does not stock the bulk wire. Do you know of a dealer who does that I can call? Any idea how much? Thanks.

    Their website is http://www.continentalmotors.com/

    Click on Ferrari. Ask for Randy, he's the parts manager and will know how much wire you'll need.

    5 yrs. ago I paid about $75 for enough wire to do alll spark plug wires and coils on a 308.
