WIRE SET INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1) Safety First:
Make sure that the engine is cool.
Wear safety glasses.
Disconnect the ( - ) negative battery cable.
2) Spread the replacement wires out and arrange them from the
shortest to the longest length.
3) DO NOT REMOVE MORE THAN ONE WIRE AT A TIME.
Note the routing of the longest ignition wire first.  Then, remove it by grasping the spark plug boot/connector (NOT THE CABLE),
twist slightly and pull firmly to remove.  Carefully remove the wire from any existing clamps, you will want to reuse them for the
new wires.  Remove the distributor end of the wire in the same manner as mentioned above.
4) Select the longest  wire from the new set.  If Silicone boot Release is included in this set, apply a thin coat to the inside of
each spark plug boot.
(DO NOT GLOB IT ON!  Do not apply boot release to the distributor or to the inside of the distributor boot.)  Firmly insert the
boot/connector over the spark plug making sure the terminal is securely engaged and that the boot covers the terminal.
Route the new wire through the same path as the original wire, using any existing clamps.  Push the terminal of other end
of the wire into the distributor cap/coil pack as far down as it will go so the terminal is securely engaged and the boot is
firmly sealed.
5) Repeat the above steps for the remaining wires, selecting the longest lead each time.
6) Where applicable, remove the old coil wire and replace it with the new coil wire in a similar manner as previously
described.
WIRE MAINTENANCE
Never let wires freely lie on anything that could cause it damage (i.e. moving parts, belts, manifold, turbocharger, etc.)
Keep wire set clean of oil and dirt.
Wires should be separated as much as possible.
All wire crossing should be done at 90 degree angles.
WARNING
Improper installation could lead to possible injury or damage to vehicle.
Silicone (dimethylpolysiloxane) may cause slight temporary discomfort if accidentally rubbed into the eyes.  If this
happens, flush eyes with water.
Consult a doctor if irritation persists.  Keep out of reach of children.
