Installation Procedure
Notice: If the boot to wire movement has occurred, the boot will give a false
visual impression of being fully seated. Ensure that the boots have been properly
assembled by pushing sideways on the installed boots. Failure to properly
seat the terminal onto the spark plug will lead to wire core erosion and result
in an engine misfire or crossfire condition, and possible internal
damage to the engine.
- Install the spark plug wire at the distributor.
- Install the spark plug wire to each spark plug.
- Install the wire to the wire separators.
Important: Wire routing must be kept intact during service and followed exactly when wires
have been disconnected or replaced.
- Inspect the wires for proper installation:
4.1. | Push sideways on each boot in order to inspect the seating. |
4.2. | Reinstall any loose boot. |
4.3. | Any time the spark plug wire or boot are installed on the spark plug,
new dielectric grease needs to be applied inside the boot. |
