    Thanks for the explanation; I honestly hadn't looked under her skirts yet...
    I'm almost disappointed... I was looking forward to another great set of "RonWires"

    Time to get rid of this thing...

    So, can you retrofit the coil packs to earlier models since we are asking stupid questions here?





    don't answer that.

    Default BoBBBB!!!!!!!

    I am thinking we get bob to retro fit the early coils to his 1330. Then Ron can sell him plug wires!!

    What do you think Bob. You don't need that 3rd cylinder

    " Thankyou "......Mike
    A couple of numbers jc didn't throw at you that may help explain further. The primary coil voltage is the system voltage, most likely, which is 12 volts. Since all the firing signals come from the computer it could be more, or less, but I'm sure it's probably 12 volts. It doesn't take much insulation, electrically speaking, to keep 12 volts contained in the wire. The insulation can break down with age and heat, but generally speaking 12 volt wires are trouble free. The spark plug wires of pre-'14 models carry something on the order of 10,000 to 30,000+ volts to create the spark across the spark plug contacts. The insulation required to keep 30,000 volts contained is a whole 'nuther animal. Spark plug wires are also the source of radio interfering electromagnetic pulses and so the wire is designed to suppress those. Those wires can fail much more quickly, hence the market for improved and replacement wires. The '14 design eliminates the spark plug wire (the subject of this thread) by having a very short highly insulated wire from the coil to the plug by putting the coil right on top of the plug.

    The initial response to your first question assumed you knew spark plug wires are specialized wires and that that was the focus of this thread. And you probably know what happens when you assume. You make an 'ass' out 'u' and 'me'.
