REMOVAL & INSTALLATION

When removing spark plug wires, use great care. Grasp and twist the insulator back and forth on the spark plug to free the insulator. Do not pull on the wire directly as it may become separated from the connector inside the insulator.

To install:

NOTE: Whenever a high tension wire is removed for any reason form a spark plug, coil or distributor terminal housing, silicone grease must be applied to the boot before it is reconnected. Using a small clean tool, coat the entire interior surface of the boot with silicone grease or an equivalent.

  1. Install each wire in or on the proper terminal of the coil pack or distributor cap. Be sure the terminal connector inside the insulator is fully seated. The No. 1 terminal is identified on the cap.
  2. Remove wire separators from old wire set and install them on new set in approximately same position.
  3. Connect wires to proper spark plugs. Be certain all wires are fully seated on terminals.
