Title: spark plug wire replacement...
Post by: Tiger on August 26, 2014, 02:05:24 PM
 :dash1:  I would like to replace, completely, the plug wires and caps on my '85. However, how do you remove the spark plug wires from the coils, with out damaging the coils :scratch_one-s_head: I couldn't find anything using 'search' (popcorn)

I did mine a year or 2 ago. They twisted out of the coils with no problems. Same with the cap end (end cap is resistive).  They are solid core wires and got mine across the counter at NAPA.  I think they were 7mm solid core less than 10 dollars.  The stock wires have a protective sleeves that you can reuse.
Here is a link with more info.
