I know the difference you're referring to and little things like this can be a PITA. You can check the HELP and similar racks at various parts stores and also your local GM dealers. I just went through this last week while reinstalling a Chevy V8 into a vehicle that was brought to us in pieces and with quite a few pieces missing. It still used stock plug routing and so I wasn't satisfied until I could do it right. I'm a detail freak and especially when doing things like this that not done correctly, can lead to problems down the road. My customers always get at least as good of quality of work as I'd do on my own car.

I got a set of those, too, but haven't got the car over here yet to see if they fit. I bought 'em just in case I break the originals when swapping in my new wires. Good to know in advance that they might not work. At least they were cheap.

That's friggin' robbery but not surprising. If you can get the part number(s) you need, give Superior Chevy a call and see what they'll sell them to you for. They're good folks and don't gouge you.

Anybody know who to ask for there these days? I'm thinking Chris Mays moved on, or got promoted or something.
