Default Spark Plug Leads

With the Winfield head installed the original type spark plug leads are to short to reach the spark plugs.
Does anyone make longer original type leads?
Many thanks
Keith

Berts has some--they are for a 32-but look like they would fit your needs. Set of 4 $2.00 part numberA-12276-D long

Thanks for that ModelAMike, I'll follow it up, it's just the sort of information I was looking for.
Cheers,
Keith

On one of my model a's I went with a modern type distributor cap with the modern type sparkplug wires . It seems to run smoother.

You might want to consider the distributor body that has been modified to take 7mm spark plug wires from Renner's Corner. Look and work great.
