Default Taylor Thundervolt spark plug wires HELP!!!!
Hey I was pulling the spark plug wires off today, and on one of the wires a metal thing from inside boot came right out completely, and there was like this copper wire that looks like it had been snapped. Can I just put metal part back in boot and all is well? Or is it fucked? If so how can I just get 1 spark plug wire? Do I have to buy all new wires? Please tell me I don't.

The wire is toast, I did the same thing to two of my thundervolt's when I did a spark plug change. I had to buy a whole new set of wires...

Same thing happened with one of my Taylors. Replaced it with a stocker. I won't buy them again, waste of money imo.

The wires get shorter (vs SBC) and somehow become double the price?

Back in my day...wires were a nickel.

Sorry I don't have them anymore, I gave them to a buddy who had the same problem. Between both of us we made a good set and a couple spares so I let him keep them. I was in a bind so I went to the local autoparts store and they had one set of stock replacement (autolite) left, so I went with those. No way I'm spending another $85 for wires...these are fine
