QUOTE(Sammy @ Sep 15 2004, 01:36 PM) I don't like the way the connector feels when it goes onto the dizzy cap... The little round rubber seals that seal the cooling air from leaking out the valve covers are junk on the magnecors. Mine kind of shriveled up... i'm a bit sub-thrilled about the cap fit too, but i always use a Nylon tie-wrap on each tower so i -know- they're not coming out. (and i use a different color on #1, so i don't have to try to remember which one that is...) my plug end airseals are holding up fine, but i have a mere 2,2 and it probably doesn't get as hot, plus it just doesn't get as hot here, and there's less ozone... |

You could alway build your own wires.. get the length and fit perfect.
Look HERE you can buy bulk Delphi Packard wire, and all sorts of Beru connectors along with the crimp tools etc.... Years ago (cant believe I can say that) I made wire for my 911 using copper core wire with the stock Beru connectors.. never worried to much about a radio in my 911's (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) I have Magnecores on both my cars, the plug connector seems much more positive than the stock wires.. |
