I have no idea whether they are the original ones that the car came with or whether they were replaced some time during the car's lifetime. The distributor end connectors are crimped on, and the spark plug end connectors do unscrew. You can see a pic of them here: http://www.qldesign.com/type34/Engine/The_Engine_-_Day_One.jpg They did work, despite being burned and cracked, and I kept them, in case they have the legendary OE connectors that you say can't be replaced. Although I made one or two bad decisions when I first got the car, I have given up throwing things away, "just in case" I also have another set of cables which came in a box of junk with the car. They are the same as the other set but appear to be in better condition. I couldn't verify that they are usable, so I didn't use them. I am currently using a set of non-stock cables that I bought from aircooled.net (they're great).
