I replaced my spark plug wires a few days ago with MSD’s. I Like them a lot, however my spark plug wire retainer clip things are 7mm. My new wires are 8.5mm. I need new wire retainers that are 8+ mm. I can’t find them like the ones I have now anywhere. I DON’T want these…



I want some that will replace these, but I need 8+mm, preferably 8.5mm…


They are being held to the clips with thin wire right now so they don't go anywhere they shouldn't be.


I also dropped a torx head down the back of my engine. Not in it, but behind it, back behind the distributor along the firewall. I took a flashlight and mirror and couldn’t see it. I reached down there and it slants back towards the back of the truck and there’s a hole. Has anybody done this? How do you get it out? Thanks.

Use zip ties instead of the wire. The engine vibration may cause the wire to rub into the spark plug wire. IMO

My truck has consumed tools too. Sockets mostly 1/4 in 10mm . They are in tool heaven.

 

but I still want to know where I can get replacement clips if anybody knows thatd be great. also, the tools...back along the firewall...they arent gonna harm anything? I dropped a Torx head and a screwdriver haha. where do they go?

 

did you check your local parts store??? as for the tool, just roll you truck over, should shake loose any tools that might have fallen in there, as well as flatten out your head!!!

 

I use zip ties as well as the clips...I've burned a few wires enough to learn my lesson. I'm not sure where you can get new clips. Probably easy to find at a parts store.

P.S. hillbilly - love your sig....my fave quote is: "The crows seemed to be calling his name, thought Caw."

 

well ya i checked stores here...and what do you mean by flatten my head? you tryin to be mean or soemthing? too bad i got kicked off that other forum...it was amazing.

 

He was being funny, like as in, if you try to pick up your truck and shake it for the missing torx, you'll get squished.

Hmm...have you tried NAPA?

Just out of curiosity, how did you get booted from another forum?

 

haha ahh...im terrible with jokes...ummm...napa...i just found that we had one the other day...i might go running around to other stores today. but i dont think theyd have them....say they dont....is there anywhere online?

I got booted because when I was new, I made 2 posts about the same thing because nobody answered my question...and then now....80 some posts later...I posted to an old thread...but this guy was gettin 4 MPG...and i felt bad and i figured id throw out some things that maybe 4 months later he hadnt dont yet. and the mod was all "meh"....i dont like that mod at all..seems nobody else does either.

 

I find NAPA usually has everything I need, but I will try to do some more research for ya.

 

thanks...i edited above why i got banned if u wanna read it
