Did you get the 5mm ones or the 7mm ones from Centerline?
The 7mm are meant for the 2L engines.
Length should be roughly the same between both sets as the dizzy and plugs are set up the same way. Coil wire could be a 'thing' though depending on specific location (or relocation as the case may be)
Barring the diameter issue, are you sure you routed them correctly?
Just curious.

Darren - I'm not sure, and the return package is already sealed up....
On thing for sure, the coil wire is not long enough. On my 74 the coil is mounted near the firewall on the passenger side, where the distributor is same side but at the front of the engine. I bet that the coil wire is 36" long....I'll call Centerline today. Thanks.

Dickson has a '74 Spider, so neither of the sets of green Cavis wires we carry are correct for his car.
The 5mm wires (IW401) are for 750/101 cars
The 7mm wires (IW405) are for the 105 series cars (1600 engine)
We used to carry a set of green Cavis wires specifically for the 1969+ cars but discontinued it about 5 years ago due to a lack of interest...

Joe - I can't be more complimentary about you guys at Centerline. UNPAID TESTIMONIAL: You're truly the parts shop for the Alfa enthusiast. Between your welcoming me on visits to the shop, or to Bob & Ian on the phones - top marks.
I talked to Ian yesterday about the wires. He relayed that you don't carry those, but then suggested that I look to bulk wire and make my own. Great solution - and certainly one I doubt "the other guys" in Charlottesville would have cared enough to suggest! THANKS - Dickson
