<VV> Plug Wires

[N. Joseph Potts]

By "boot," are you referring to the rubber part that covers the end of the
spark plug, or the round part that plugs the hole in the shroud above the
spark plug?

As many of you out there are aware, Clark's sold about 2000 sets of
defective
wires.  In talking with Cal in Helen, Ga. a couple of weeks ago, he said
they
had traced it down to defective boots, not the wires.  They were to ship out
new boots to everyone that had bought the defective wires, myself being one
of
them..  I have received mine and probably many of you have also.  In talking
with Michael Cassera (via E-Mail) he had trouble removing the boots and
installing the new ones.  The wires came apart at the crimp. Since I haven't
tackled redoing mine yet, would I be better off using side cutters to cut
off
the old boot and then use some type of Silicon to help get the new ones on?
I
have never tried this before.  To bad Clark's didn't just replace the wires
instead of just the boots.  Would seem to me to have been the right thing to
do.
