Coil wire?

Hey guys I have an OTVC wire kit that I installed 4 1/2 months ago but never changed the coil wire. I have my stock one out, but the boots on the coil wire look bigger than a regular spark plug boot. Is there anywhere I can get a pre-made coil wire? Are the male ends on the coil and opti any different than it would be for a spark plug wire? I have the wire itself but I'm not sure if the boots are any different.

Thanks
Matt

Re: Coil wire?

I just switched to an OTVC setup myself. The opti end for the coil wire was the same as the other opti connections, but the coil end was just a regular spark plug boot. Also, with some kits, the coil wire coil end is labeled on the actual boot. I don't know which kit you got, but with my taylor kit from thunderracing, I just used a plug wire boot that came in one of the other bags.

Pretty sure that on the 96-97s, that the boot is the same on both ends (like the opti end). Earlier coils used the plug boot style.

Thanks....I had to re-use the stock boot and another old boot, but it worked

Re: Coil wire?

I just did this actualy..

Have Taylor OTVC kit but I never changed the coil wire. Yesterday I was working on my car in that area and decided to change it since it was right there.

On the 96 and I suppose 97's both ends of the wire are the same except one is a straight boot and the other (going to the coil) is a 90 degree boot. But the terminals are the exact same as plug wires.
