Plug wires

[Dwight]

In replacing the cylinder head cover gasket, I noted that the plug wire to my right side was corroded. I cleaned it as well as possible but noticed some of the strands were broken, so I would like to replace the wires. I can't find a part number for just the wires, only the entire coil assembly. Is it possible to just replace the wires with something aftermarket?

Thanks,
Dwight

...just replace the wires ...

Hi Dwight,

the wire is sort of screwed to the coil. So if you turn it left you may srcew it out and replace it by an aftermarket wire.

Hi Dwight,

yes, you can use after market wires.

At the LTD coil just unscrew the "knurled" plastic nut and unscrew the cable as Martin described.
Attach (screw in) new cable and lock it with the plastic nut again.
Do not loose the inner parts (special plastic washer and rubber) when unscrewing the stuff.
I like the highly flexible Silicone cables most.
Not cheap, but very handy and reliable.
Ideal is to have new cables with same outer diameter as stock cables.
Fits mechanically best in the coil and is watertight.

Cheers, Michael

Thanks guys, I'll pull one of the wires and see if I can find something to match it locally.
