REMOVAL & INSTALLATION

  1. Remove the air cleaner inlet tube.
  2. If equipped, remove the center cover from the valve cover.
  3. Label each spark plug wire and make a note of its routing.

    NOTE: Don't rely on wiring diagrams or sketches for spark plug wire routing. Improper arrangement of spark plug wires will induce voltage between wires, causing misfiring and surging. Be careful to arrange spark plug wires properly.

  4. Starting with the longest wire, disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug and then from the coil pack or distributor cap.

    To install:

  5. If replacing the spark plug wires, match the old wire with an appropriately sized wire in the new set.
  6. Lubricate the boots and terminals with dielectric grease and install the wire on the coil pack. Make sure the wire snaps into place.
  7. Route the wire in the exact path as the original and connect the wire to the spark plug.
  8. Repeat the process for each remaining wire, working from the longest wire to the shortest.
  9. Install the air cleaner inlet tube.
