Subject:WTB Knarly Spark Plug Wire Set
From:mark keller
Date:Sat, 18 Oct 1997 16:34:16 -0400

I have noticed a tendancy of my current wires to short when wet.  I also
heard a arcing spark the first time I washed the motor. Of course this was
was more agressive engine wash, but the plug wires gave up again.

I currently have wires with VW part numbers on them. Metal jackets on the
plug leads, and neato brass  clips at both ends.

Any chance of just replacing the "wire".

Any recommended aftermarket, or just get em replaced with OEM?

BTW has anyone seen a plug kit that tends to do a better job of "insulating
the wires" from false signals.  Seems that the current wire tie job of
securing the wires along their route is a no no in my book?

Comments? TIA
