Hi, This is Tim in
Va.;
A V Max uses regular automotive
plug wires. The spark plug connector just unscrews from the wire via a sheet
metal screw looking thing inside the connector. Removing the wire from the coil
is just unscrewing the friction nut on the
end of the coil.
What I used was ACCEL HI-TEMP
SUPER STOCK SPIRAL CORE 8MM WIRE. I had to strip about an
inch-and-a-half of the outside insulation (leaving the inside white
insulator around the conductor intact) so the wire would fit into the coil and
make contact with the sharp, pointy, connector at the bottom of the hole in the
coil. Then I had to drill out the hole at the end of the friction nut so
the unstriped part of the wire would fit far enough into it to be held
in place by the rubber washer that is compressed
when the compresion nut is screwed onto the coil. The other end of the wire just
gets screwed into the spark plug connector. Using dielectric grease on RUBBER
PARTS ONLY will aid in assembly of everything. Mainly because everything will
have a tighter fit than before. You also do not strip any insulation away from
the conductor of the wire as you would for a custom car set-up. Just leave it
flush.
I needed to replace my wires
about two years ago when the solid core wires got too short. You see, I had to
keep cutting them back to keep a good connection due to the copper
conductor eroding away at the coil end. I just checked the continuity of the
spiral core wires and they are still good. I also went from having to go to
reserve at 100 miles to gonig to reserve at 110 miles. So some milage and
performance gains were had with the spiral wound wires over the solid core
wires.
If you don't want to modify your
compresion nuts, you may be able to use 7MM wires. Take a compresion nut with
you to the auto parts store to see if it will work or not.
A set of spiral wound wires run
about $40.00. And you will get way more wire than you need. So see if someone
wants to go in with you, or use them on your truck. That way you can get an
efficency gain on your daily driver of off-roader also.
Good luck, and keep at least one
wheel on the ground.
