DieselGiant has Pencil plugs with the right fittings to fit into one of the old engines, I'm pretty sure.
the loop style have a metal hard line shaped like a long "W" in between each of the plugs, and the front most one will have a metal braided cable bolted to the block attached... unless your engine was swapped for a non turbo older motor, it's got the pencil style.
