Ken - Bsing Packard Electric parts, they probably are authentic.  I would just question how old and britle they are.  Paul Ayres

Dear Paul,
 
Thanks for the input.
Do you happen to know where I can obtain a replacement set that would pass as authentic, or do I just replace them with a modern set cut to size.

Ken - I would use new wire, cut to length.  Restoration Supply Company in Escondido, California, (800) 306-7008 or (760) 741-4041, has new cloth covered wire and old style terminals, as do several other ignition parts vendors.  Paul
