They are heavy gauge copper wire with brass eyes. They bolt between the engine and the body. The engine must be properly grounded. Everything must get back to the battery. Electricity travels at the speed of light.
Do you have the proper firing order?Last edited by bravekozak; 10-01-2017, 02:49 PM.Comment

Usually a good idea to flush these older engines a few times with water anyway before adding coolant.Originally posted by bhazard View Post"The White Turd" 1993 Festiva 144k miles. (Winner of FOTM November 2016)

Just dont forget to drain some of that water after and dispose of it properly when you add more antifreeze. I think it was the second year i had my festiva i put too much water in and forgot to drain some out and add coolant later. It was still very green so i never thought of it after i forgot... i had a 2hr drive in -20c temps with no heat. Didnt realize that my coolant had frozen until about half way through the drive. That was cold, i wasnt dressed for bo heat...

The battery was just completely dead. After charging for about an hour with crappy jumper cables it fired.Originally posted by ryanprins13 View Post
