Go to O Reilly's Accel, part no 4041 universal plug wires. They are 8 mm work great and will fit better than the ones that came with Delteq for ~$40. Some asembly required

You might consider cutting your losses now and selling what you have to someone with a failed one. They are dropping like flies and the developer is ill so the company is basically no more.

Becuase Delteq is junk, get a new cap/rotor and be done with it. You still partialy use the opti anyway, just less clutter and hassles for you with a solid opti.

I was one of the first people to ever have a Delteq, same coils, plug wires, etc. Been on the car for YEARS. I have never had one problem.

Depending one where you mount yours would depend on what wires you need. You may have to buy some and have them cut.

What I was saying is that in the last year or so reliability of them has TANKED in a BIG way and the company is basically no more so you can't repair it. LTCC was always a better kit anyway but I agree with Speed Density that a fresh cap and rotor is what most need.

ya i know but i just wanna try something different if it goes bad then it goes bad but 200 bucks for a delteq with 1500 miles on it i had to give it a shot..worse then that could happen is replace it with something else..

Just because you had problems with your's doesn't mean you need to input your crappy advise here. I have had mine on my car for over 3 years with out one problem and I love it. If he wants to go with delteq then that is his choice, you don't need to be a dick about it.

I dont have Delteq nor will i ever, every car I have seen it on or worked on has been a turd. Its like putting a bandaid over a gunshot. The opti works, use it.
