  • Buying new spark plug wires.

    Every time I've bought wires for a festiva, The coil wire has been just long enought to reach. Is there any other make or model which will give me a little longer coil wire?

    Thanks

    NGK's is very long.
    If it don't fit, use a bigger hammer!

      Weird. Mine almost seems too long, it hangs down and rides beside the battery and almost on top of the transmission. I'm sure you could check out a set at McAutoparts for a Protege/Aspire/Escort/Miata etc...

      Doc, now that I think about it, I have NGKs

        Agreed. My B6T set is very lengthy.

            Buy some bulk wire and make your own set of wires to the exact length you want. You can put on some fancy covers. You will require a bench vice, a cutting blade, and a hammer. Do all of your cars, including your neighbor's. That way, they won't complain about all the Festivas in your driveway.

              You can also buy individual wires in different lengths, including coil wires. I've had both Bosch and now Belden PowerMax ... Both fit very well.
