Ironhorse1077 21 #1 Posted October 12, 2020 I'm in need of either some ideas to repair this connector or help finding part numbers to replace it/them. I'm not sure if I can jus t replace the brass connectors (which are worn out) for the end of the wires that connect to the coil or if I need to get new wires entirely, boots, connectors and all. The ends that go the the spark plugs are fine, its just the opposite ends that are worn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ironhorse1077 21 #3 Posted October 12, 2020 Yeah, I've been to visit my local store. They were unable to find anything. Said they need a part number,.... They didn't mention any other options as far as making new ones from individual parts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like someone tried to put an angle on the coil end. Can you get away with straight coil boots and ends? Edited October 12, 2020 by squonk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They didn't mention any other options as far as making new ones from individual parts. They have them ... they just don't KNOW they have them. If it isn't in the quickie computer lookup they're not going to find anything anymore... @squonk has all the part numbers. He makes and sells plug wires as well. If those plug wires are old enough to have worn out the end they really should not be put back on.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wallfish 17,890 #11 Posted October 12, 2020 Unfortunately you found one that can't do a single thing if it doesn't show up on a computer screen. If you have an old school auto parts near you, shop there from now on. I should've just sent you to Mike @squonk in the first place 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peter lena 9,190 #15 Posted October 12, 2020 IRONHORSE1077, another thing you can add to your wire ends is DIELECTRIC GREASE , to increase conductivity and let the rubber wire ends slide off the spark plug , the rubber tends to dry out and stick , jmoo, pete Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ironhorse1077 21 #16 Posted October 28, 2020 Thanks to Squonk for providing efficient, reliable and economical service. A new set of wires and some new points got her back in the game. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
