Hello all,
After installing new exhaust manifolds, I found The old set up of snaking the plug wires in between the manifold and block will not work. It looks like the manifold is a slightly different design and there is not enough space in between. Now I have to go from the distributor over the manifold and back under to the plugs.
I’m trying to find Part numbers for the correct plug wires. The current wires which I purchased two years ago are Sierra part number 88261. I’m thinking I might not be able to go with a straight boot, and need a 90° boot at the plug.
Heres the problem, I need a longer length. For instance (on the port motor), with the distributer on the left side of the engine, it barely reaches the furthest cylinder (front/right number 2). That wire is 27.” The shortest wire is 20” and goes to the number 8 cylinder (back/right) and does not reach. Those appear to be the two cylinders that will not reach, and obviously on the starboard motor it would be the same situation just opposite cylinders.
I was thinking on buying one more set and just using the long wires, But I don’t like mixing and matching parts, these plug wires are already two years old.
Any help on part numbers for two longer sets perhaps with a 90° boot is much appreciated. Thanks.
