520H Plug Wires and Spark Plugs

[mattd860 162]

I need new plug wires for my 520H but I'm not spending $33 bucks per wire!!! So I want to make my own set of wires. Does anyone have any information about this? I've made them for Kohler K series motors but never for the Onan. What is the optimal size (diameter)? Are there any types of wires that offer better performance over stock?

Also - what is the recommended NGK plug for motor?

Matt what I did was go to my local nappa dealer and get a set of like 4 universal wires ith the boots and stuff and crimped my own, They are dark blue (would have preffered black) oh well doesn't bother me. I now have some extra parts I ordered, 90 deg boots, st boots. 90deg ends, st ends and in the future now that Im all stocked up I just need to get the wire In bulk also and make mine to be custom fit.

I would think any Automotive wire will work on that engine No Problemo.

Now yer a guy after he Ole Dukes Heart NGK My Engine doode thats all

he uses! A few years back I went to autozone and had the guy bring out all the plugs for a certain application (cant remember what it was ) but I ohmed out all 8 of the plugs and the NGK showed the lowest resistance. Thats all I use on my engines. I will look tonight and let you know the # on my Onan.
