You typically have to cut and fit them yourself.
i suggest MartiAutoworks. They supply kits with differents dates codes available. Wires are numbered and the lengths are correct.

Yes. They fit well and look original.
Marti is a obvious choice for original assemblyline looking wires however the OP asked for 7mm wires which are in the after market category.
The last set of Marti plug wires I bought had high resistance on the ohm meter. Taylor spiro pro wires are better performance.
Taylor is bar none the best aftermarket wires that 'look' close to stock. Very good quality also.
+1 on the Taylor Spiro pro. Black is the preferred color to get them in because the factory were black. Honestly that is about the only thing that makes them look similar to original. There are not any better I take lacquer thinner and remove all of the aftermarket lettering on the wires which is one less obvious tell.I like the 45 degree angle boots. There are not any other non original aftermarket choices IMO.
I have Jacobs 8MM wires on my 428 in black. Has anyone else used them. Dan Reiter put them on my car waaay back then and he uses good stuff on his car. Drag raced and SAAC tracked the car for many years.
I was about to mention the set-up used!!! Agreed, 8mm cut to length. I also converted to an under-cap electronic, and a good coil. I used the MSD Blaster II, painted it black, and put on the Ford decal. Just note to top is the wrong color.

And the car still runs GREAT! Great setup you did back then. No issues and its been a few decades.
Thanks all... Taylors ordered. Love the 45* boots.
