A little off subject, but anyone have any bright ideas for keeping the metal spark plug connector connected to the lead when removing the wires. Never fails, when I replace the wires, connector =stuck on plug=B I T C H. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/angry.gif" alt="" />

I use AUTOLITE SUREFIT already assembled. You are probably aware that my plugs are 6" deep inside my valve cover. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/angry.gif" alt="" /> Just enough clearance to get a socket in. They have a plastic extension which houses the connector on top of which sits a rubber plug to seal out the bad stuff. If they made the set-up one piece i wouldn't have this problem. The rubber part slides off the plastic part and the wire comes out with it. I put a gob of dielectric grease in the end of the extension(plugside). They come from the manufacturer with some but not much.

I've seen, I think, STREETWIRES makes a solid one piece unit but not for my truck. If I could get one of those to work that would be great. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/coolg.gif" alt="" />

I've never had this problem with factory wires. Are you trying to remove the boot when the engine is hot? If so the sealant/glue that holds the wires and boots together will be hot and that's probably why you're having problems.

I like that idea thanks. I'm normally iin a hurry. It always happens when I try to do the job after school and before work...just enough time to get it done if everthing cooperates. They usually don't.
"MMMMM...new wires"
"DOH...stoopid boots."
