I am curious if anyone has found 90 degree spark plug boots that fit onto the plugs with carbs and the CFR throttle linkage.
When the wires come straight up, out of the shrouds they have to bend and rest against the bottom of the carbs. I am guessing there is some leakage of the spark with the wires rubbing like that. Any ideas? |

I'm guessing you have 2 liter Porsche heads. You could use 911 plug connectors. A little pricey, and your wires may be too short, but wires can be made up from bulk. You'll have to buy the early type, and they require the nuts on the end of the plugs, but they should work well and give you bragging rights (and maybe double the HP, depending on how much you spend on them!). BTW, there are some early Volvo plug wire ends that would work. They used them on the front cylinder. I don't know whether you can buy them separately.
