I know there have been several threads about plugs, etc. What I am trying to ascertain here is the corect plug wire set for a '73 or '74 2.0. My car is a '74 but apparently it has a '73 serial number motor and my FI guy says it has a '73 D-Jet as well because of the special 270 ohm resistor... However I think the plug wires should be the same for either year.
Anyway I see sets with 4 short connectors at the plug end and sets with 2 long and two short. I think for the 2.0 it's the one with 4 shorts, but I'm not sure... I'm trying to source them here in Europe, not in the US, and I'm finding various sets, but the part numbers (and prices) are all over the place. I found an NGK 0948 set for only about $15 at one of my online general auto parts suppliers but can't find a reference to that on the NGK site... The set at Rose Passion costs 3x that price (probably 5-6x if I include shipping and possible import taxes) but no part number reference. And as far as spark plugs - NGK BPR6ES... Again there are 2 part numbers I found, 4008 and 7131... As far as I could find, the only difference is that the 7131 has a screw-on terminal, whereas the 4008 is solid. I guess the 4008's would be fine... |

I would cross check the parts with pelican or autoatlanta to see if they match. The plug wires will probably require the screw off type of plug. At least all of mine have. You want to make sure they have the special boot to seal against the engine tin. If they are really made for the type four you should really have 3 rather long ones and a shorter one for cylinder 4. Cylinder 1 is quite a reach.

All 73-76 2.0L use 4 short connectors. Another option is to look for Porsche 356 plug wires.
