Hey Tech II,
I 'm resurrecting the "Plug Wires" thread to back up the decision for keeping the original plug wires in place. This was last June.. where I made a diagram of wire routing, checked to see if each plug could be accessed, figured out what wrenches to use, learned how to undo the wire clamps, and generally inspected / treated each and every wire end-to-end.
There was no grease or dirt on the wires after this was done. They were still supple and rubbery. Contacts inside the boots were all shiny, swabbed with Deoxit juice and blown-out with air. It wasn't till August 2012 that I bought the new plugs. Almost 15 months have passed since then.
Here's a photo of the engine compartment taken last Sunday after a test drive.. which was actually a beer run!
Should have used the LED drop light to get a better photo.
