just got some more today i had the hook kind so i put the straight one's on .any pics of any .heres mine.
I like the ones that snap onto the little knurled caps on the plugs. Some hang on to the wires better then others I've noticed. Cool old stuff.
I like the Raja clips. Up into the early '40's plugs had threaded posts to accomodate different types of top nuts, so you could fine-tune your fit by changing the brass nut.
I've had 'em on my car for five years, they rule. Mine are originals with the script and knurling, new ones are smooth. Actually I've only got five on my engine, I need three oldies if anyone can spare some.

I've actually got the special Raja pliers that strip the wire to exact proper length and crimp the barrel type connectors... Rodders always used them with Packard 440 solid core wire...nothing else was acceptable. Resto place has that too!
I used them way back when, nice old school touch, aren't worth a shit with headers, as they have little or no insulation value. jc
I am runnning them on my flattie. Open hood, Ive ran in the rain and have never had a problem. I picked up a few spares, the spring clips have a tendancy to pull out of the screw.
Oh no, please don't renind me. About three years ago I was in a cleaning frenzy, which in actuality I never get in. But, there I was, and things were going out the door like crazy. Among the growing pile of stuff I added a coffee can full of RAJAH clips. I had had them for over 30 years and they were only gathering dust. So I says to myself "out they go." What a shmuck!!! Must have been dozens of those little gems in there. As I said, "what a schmuck!" The stupid things we do. Why didn't I throw out some of the crap I have that takes up way more room than a measly-ass coffee can?
i just scooped up a few hundy different kinds of rajah connectors, about 90 ft of clear and 25 foot of red/clear wire....im going to rajah my wiener after i get done with the bikes and cars.
