Default inexpensive coil wires?

I'm just tinkering with my project before any real disassembly happens... Looks like the connectors on both coil wires (cap side) are bad and I'd like to replace them. Is there an inexpensive route to do this? I'll buy a new set (or going COP ignition) when I restore it but just want to optimize it for now.


Segway - How the hell are plug wires for these cars $500??

Yes, you can order just the coil wires. Call the guys at https://www.kingsbornewires.com/ and they will make them up for you.
You can also convert to 993 coils by asking them to make 964 length coil-to-distributor wires for you with a 993-type connector on the coil end and a 964-type connector on the distributor end.

+1 for using these guys. I called them for the custom wires for the 993 coil conversion and they knew exactly what I was talking about. Great people.

There's someone on eBay selling the exact wires for $130

This is great to hear- I personally was apprehensive about converting the ends myself.
I need to tackle the 993 conversion soon.

+964 spoke to Chris today and will receive my order on Saturday. Excellent service and price. She knew exactly what I was talking about.
