    I'm in the last stages of ****oning up my 331" Chrysler Hemi And I can't find a source of spark plug tubes. I'll be using the original valve covers and wire covers. TR Waters doesn't have them but I ordered the washers from him as he did have stock in them. Is there another source out there?

    They show up on EBay regularly.

    I believe the restomod tubes are the very long 51-53 Chrysler length.

    Chrysler 51-53 tubes are 6 13/16.
    Chrysler 56-58 and all Desoto's are 6 1/4.
    Chrysler 54-55 and all Dodge are 5 29/32.
    Restomod tubes are 6 1/2 and are low quality. They are not up to Chinese standards!
    The next tubes that I buy are coming from Moon.

    Well I received the tubes from Restomod and I don't see why I can't make them work. They will need to be shortened and reshaped at the outer ends but so would the Moon tubes. I would like to compare them side by side, but in the meantime I'll do with these.
