Spark Plug Wires Jacked Up! - Third Generation F-Body Message Boards

TrnsmGTA · 03-06-2002, 08:25 PM

Replacing spark plug wires and the old ones never looked like they were matched up right (length wise) with their spark plug. I'm putting accel 8.8 wires on my t/a and want to know if anyone knows what exact length goes to each plug? almost every new wire is a different length, some only by an inch, does anyone have a diagram specifying the exact length wire per plug? THANKS!

When I take off the old wires, I do it one at a time and match each one up with the closest length new one.

Just do a mockup installation of each wire and then cut it where it needs to be cut ! Can't get any simpler then that really.

No, no -

If you don't have them cut to the EXACT stock length they won't conduct properly!

j/k:lala: the above are right - cut them to the fit you like best, it won't matter.

Actually you're partially right. The longer the wire the more resistance that will occur. But nothing noticable if you just match it up the best you can.
