Two things I noticed when changing my plugs to NGK Spark Plugs.
1) I noticed that when I went to put on the spark plug wires on to my new NGK pugs, the head of the plug is much larger then the old wire port? I also noticed the inner part of the spark plug is threaded, is there an adapter that screws in for smaller wire ports? 2) I also noticed while I had everything apart on of my spark plug wire ports was broken (the plastic end that connects to the spark plug)... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) So now I have to buy a new kit anyway... - Do the NGK plugs have a certain head size I should look for in getting a new spark plug wire kit? Or just look for a "standard" wire kit and get the adapter? - Also, I am seeing wire kits anywhere from around $30 to $100. If you don't have a full MSD wire set up and built motor, would you notice the difference in spark plug wires between the median range wires or higher end wires? Thanks in advance... |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I can see the threads... But don't agree on the bosch plug wires...I think they suck and are too short. |
