Ok here is the deal im running a fairly new Delteq ignition system(less than 80miles).I really dont like the stock route of the plug wire.

So i made my own custom OTVC wire and its much cleaner and safer now

BUT...

The Delteq wire are way way way did i say way to long now.They are making huge loop over my intake .I dont wanna buy a new set of cut to length wire since those are NEW!

My question:
-Can i cut the plug wire to the good length and reuse the plug boot and metal plug connector?
-Do i need a special crimping tool or a standard pair of plyer should do the trick?

Thank you

 

It won't hurt to pull a plug boot off and see what the crimps in the terminals look like. About the only thing I'd be worried about is the crimps possibly becoming metal fatigued from being reopened and then recrimped again, and snapping.

Just for giggles, you might try scouting your local parts stores and seeing if they carry any kind've generic "universal" plug wire terminals.

 

Ok and what about the tool needed?

Do i need a specila one or a standard pair of plyer wil do the job?

Thanks again

 

All the plug wires I've ever bought came with their own crimp tool that was designed to be used with a vise. While I wouldn't go as far as to say it was 100% necessary, it certainly made the job easier.

Tell you what: I've still got the crimp tool that came with my last set of plug wires. I'll trade you it for one of your optispark rotor hold down shims.

Deal?
