Subject:      New Style Spark Plug Wires
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Has anyone replaced their spark plug wires with ones having the new style connectors which require the distributor cap to have the little studs down in the holes?

I've just installed a set without realizing the difference and things didn't fit right. I looked in Bentley, and found reference to the new style, which they recommend upgrading to, and determined that I needed the new distributor cap. So I bought a new cap, the wires clicked in nicely... But the coil wire does not click into the coil tightly. Does this mean that I need to replace the coil as well with one with a little stud in the hole, or is there some kind of adapter that I need???

Thanks,
