Re: Replacement spark plug boots?

My coil pack boots looked great and came out fine. I didn't bother greasing them up because of how easily they came out the first time.

Re: Replacement spark plug boots?

I finished mine up. Had a couple of them get stuck and mangled during removal.

Went to the parts store and bought some plug wires for a 71 Dodge truck w/ 318V8. I was going to use the disty cap end initially, but I eventually just cut the plug end boots down and stretched them onto the SVX coil. The rubber there was thicker than at the disty end, so I figured it would be better.

Also installed ECUtune 1a1 and TCU. Busy day

Re: Replacement spark plug boots?

Something that works splendidly for minor plug boot repair is "Liquid tape" brush on wire insulation. Its pretty much a black rubber cement that you can apply in various thicknesses that bonds to rubber to make a weatherproof and insulating seal wherever needed.

Good to know! I would have wondered about it being good enough to insulate the high voltage spark!

I have some but have never used it for anything!

Will have to take a look for it... It's got to be around here someplace
