I bought a bunch of these to resell, and Adriel reported that one of
them was too short. If you have the OE dist cap ends, it's easy to
just replace the wire itself, and I can provide the wire. The OE dist
cap ends are almost impossible to find these days, but they were the
best solution ever. I have a few good used ones, but I won't sell
them cheap.

I have no idea about those, but the ad mentions "5mm" wire. I've
never seen SP wire that small. It must be a typo, as all aircooled
VWs used 7 mm wire. There is later 8 mm wire used in some cars, but
it won't fit in our systems, and the 7 mm wire works perfectly.
They also emphasize low resistance, but that's actually quite
irrelevant.
