Default MSD Spark Plug Wires

Anyone know where to find them online for a 2000 with the 5.9L.
I can find them for the 5.2 but I can't find them for the 360.

The MSD 8.5mm Super Conductor wires, part numbers 32189 and 32183 should fit both engines. The only difference between those two is the 32189s are red, the 32183s are black.

I don't think there is much of a difference in the length of the wires, if any at all, between a 5.9L and 5.2L. No idea why their 8.0mm Street Fire wires (5532) wouldn't work for the 5.9L, but Summit states it only works for the 5.2L. Interesting...

I got my Street Fires from AutoZone for $40. On the MSD box, for my SF 5532, it says 94-97 5.2 5.9. IDK why nobody lists them for the 360, and why on the box it says only for 94-97.

Yeah, I would recommend getting aftermarket wire looms.

I got mine from Summit. The ones they said would fit my truck were for the old style LA engines and I had to make work and get MSD to send me a custom cut coil wire. So the second time I put plug wires on I got the right ones. I forgot the part number but they said they fit up to 2000 or up to 98 or something. I don't know. The up to year was before mine but they work great. I do have the 360 though so not sure what you need for the 318.

These are the ones I have I think. Jegs sells them also as I messed up one wire in my set so got a whole new set from Jegs the second time. They the expensive ones? If so it's what I have. I put Mr Gasket wire looms on there that I got from Advance Auto Parts. They work great with them but not soo much with the factory ones like you said.

Mine the coil wire was plenty long when I got the right kit. In the kit for the older ones where the plugs that go on the dist cap I had to make smaller by bending with pliers and the coil wire was probably a foot long or so. Way too short so I called MSD and they told me to measure my stock ones and then they mailed me one that size. The right kit for my truck had the correct size.
