spark plug and ignition wire set

bosmass · 06-06-2009, 11:28 AM

I have installed a new set of plug wires (Bosch 09008) and the wire that goes from the coil to the distributor is about 3&1/2" too short. I talked to Bosch and they said a 09514? set may work. However that set was too short as well. Both were supposed to be oem replacement but I have not found that to be true. Is there another alternative to Bosch or a different part number I could try out?
I think bosch may be shorteneing all of their products because that is also the case on my Starion. I took a look at a set yesterday which is identical in part number to one I bought last year. Coil wire is too short by about 3 inches. Strange.

lol cutbacks are everywhere!

"Sometimes" it's better to just unscrew the spark plug cap on one wire and screw the coil cap at the end of it.

Found out autozone had a length that was exactly what I needed. 7mm grey silicone ignition wire for only 4 bucks. In the end, I had to use the spark plug set 09008 bosch supplies plus the autozone part. I also got a new old stock radio put in along with the diff panel and a new washer fluid reservoir pump. Whoo hoo.

Blaufergnuegen had 8mm for the Urq that included cap and rotor for i think $100 or so.

yah, i also got one from autozone. Perfectly fit on the length and a cheaper price than on the other dealer that offers the same part.
