Replacing Spark Plug Wires

Each spark plug wire leads from a specific terminal on the distributor cap to a specific spark plug. When removing the wires label their positions, if necessary, so that they can be correctly reinstalled.

The spark plug wires are removed by pulling the boots straight away from the distributor cap or spark plugs. Pull only on the connector, not on the wire. For old wires, twisting the connector first or peeling back the rubber boot may aid removal.
