    WTB: straight not 90 degree long spark plug connector

    My engine lost one of its original long straight spark plug connectors over the years. Trying to locate one but will also consider a set or multiples if preferred by seller

    TIA

    I’ve seen this reference before. For my own eddification, what is straight, not 90? Is it the lead direction coming off the sparkplug end connector?

    I could use a little education on this too. I understand the 90 degree end goes to the spark plug wire and not the plug, but when (what year) were the straight connectors replaced by the ones with the 90 end?

    What's the story on those beru pink plugs?
    Is that what came day one in the cars?
    If so what years?

    This is the first I have seen them.

    Thanks Eric. Guess I can’t help the OP. I had literally just tossed these 3 into the garbage yesterday, so I wanted to help if I could. Short side were original looking. Long side were later replacements. All replaced with the current Beru offering. According to Stoddard, straight is for 65-67.

    Yes the Stoddard repop is lighter, although that bakelite or whatever it is tends to darken with age and heat. Seen that on a myriad of high voltage transformers. At any rate, the Stoddard one has no Beru markings, while the current Beru offering of course does, and in all the same places. So in a sense the current Beru offering seems more authentic than the repop, which only attempts to match colour.

    I believe the 90 ends were introduced in 1968 . I've seen numerous '67's with straights .
