    Hi,

    I'm working on a twin turbo TR project for a customer and am at the stage where I need to build some custom spark plug wires. We're using GM ls2 style coils. what I'm having a hard time finding is the spark plug ends that seal nicely into the valve covers. I've attached the style of wire set that came on the car. Anybody know where I can get these, or something like it? I've tried my usual supplier, Kingsborne Wire Works in California but they didn't have anything.

    Thanks

    try to get wires from the TR up to 91?? not sure !
    you need only the cap or complete coils?
    I´m doing just the same here with my koenig competition, from the original distributor to single coils. but before I do this I want to check if the injection is working fine.

    I've seen the early style, basically a spark plug extender with resistance in it and then the boot that connects to it on top. I'd be find with that too. If I go that route, all I want is that angled boot with the seal on it so I can crimp my own wire and ends on it.

    complete wire set is around $800. perhaps there is something that doesn't come with the Ferrari 'tax' on it?

    So I take it you don't have the old set of wires from the TR? If you did, you could re-use the old boots.
