Hello All,
I was hoping if someone has been there and can share where I can find the spark plug wire ends that would fit this coil pack. An universal plug set would be ideal. I am going to use this for my Microsquirt conversion. Any leads or links would be appreciated.

It is an end (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
The wires hook up to the connector with the 4321 on it in the pic posted. You would need the matching connector with a pigtail to connect to MS. Cut from a scrap car harness. You will also need to figure out a way to bolt them to the engine tin and a seal. The 1/3 coils might stick out a fair bit on a T4. |

Thanks, I got the connector end figured out, tracked down the connector kit to crimp my wires into.
The coil pack spark plug tower is different than the distributor cap on stock T4, looks like a sharp point inside that gets attached. |

I need a set of spark plug wires that fit this end of the coil pack.
It is not the same as our T4.  |

You need connectors something like these, they are some old Audi coil/plug wire connectors.

I need a custom length set so they can reach the spark plugs.

I get it now, I was thinking COP.
Magnacore will build you any set, length, ends you want. My T4 conversion bug has GM coils, I bought a V8 set of Accel wires and got 2 sets. |

Here's the set that came with Matt's MicroSquirt.
http://thedubshop.com/universal-air-cooled-spark-plug-wires/ Goes into the same wasted coil pack as The Dub Shop calls it. |

QUOTE(cary @ May 20 2018, 10:34 PM)  Goes into the same wasted coil pack as they call it. "Wasted spark", each plug fires twice every 4 strokes, so one spark event is wasted. GM coils (many others) work the same. GM coil does two cylinders each so I have 2 coils, if it was a /6 I'd have 3 coils, etc. SDS and Electromotive use GM coils. VW, subi, ford uses one coil for all 4 cylinders. |
