Gang,
I recently purchased a new set of wires and dist. cap but the ends that plug into the dist. cap are female like those that would typically go on the male plug ends. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/blink.gif) They need to be male, right? What gives - is there something going on I don't know about are did someone put the wrong ends on these wires? Thanks for any insight (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) Cheers (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/aktion035.gif) , |

Hi Rich (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
Thanks for the reply! I'm attaching 3 photos to better illustrate what's happening. They show the two end types on this wire set. Obviously the longer ends w/metal goes to the plugs. Another photo shows the inside of both ends. And the last shows the end is way too large for the dist. cap and the inside does not come close to "clipping" into the female copper connector of the cap, as traditional male ends do. Thus my question to the forum. What's your opinion now that you've seen these photos? I think these plugs have the wrong type of ends on them. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/blink.gif) The sales associate at Vertex was going to research and get back to me. Thanks!
