1932 Cadillac V16 plug wires?

[Matt87]

Im thinking of building my Monogram 32 Caddy in near future. With a 16 cylinder if i want to add spark plug wires for extra detail how would i go about that? I know nobody makes a prewired 16 cylinder distributor.

Sorry Matthew, I don't know of a prewired 16 cylinder distributor, but I am starting the build of a 1:16 scale Rolls-Royce Phantom III in January, which has two distributors of 12 ignition leads each, for the V12 engine. From what I have been reading on this forum, there is not much space to accommodate the 24 plug leads . . .

From looking at the pics google brings up for a 1932 cadillac v16 engine there appears to be 3 different styles. One is two 8 cylinder disributors mounted beside each other, one is more like what we're used to seeing and the third is just all the wires coming out one slot, but it may be a cover over a distributor. if it was me i'd probably go for the third one since it should be an easy part to make

Thanks guys. I will do some research on the engine.
