Re: SO, I changed my plugs/wires/boots
So... did you put that rubber seal suppressor back on the plug caps?
When I removed the old caps, that was the first thing to go. The caps came off very easily when that long cut in the side of that rubber suppressor.

I just clicked on a map of England and looked at your town, you're pretty close to where my wife is over there. She's working for Dept of Defense on one of our Air Force Bases over there.chewy999 wrote:Technically I don't at the moment! But I'm working on it!

Re: SO, I changed my plugs/wires/boots
I have seen some cut, but I have also removed the plastic from them with a little effort. I would not use ones that have been cut, especially in the rain
