BW sparkplug cables. Installation problems.


#1

I can’t get my fancy new 8mm cables to pop on to the distributer. I worked hard at it for 30min last night and a couple of the plug wires just won’t seat all the way on. A visual inspection shows nothing wrong and my OEM wires snap on w/o trouble. I pulled an old dist cap and the BW cables snapped on if I pushed really hard. So maybe the tolerances of something is just a smidgen off. Has anyone else had problems with the BW premium cables?

I don’t want to send them back to BW because I got them by winning a gift certificate for being the most hapless driver, telling the best stories, or something like that. Would be kinda slimy to put BW thru hassle for a freebie.

Try a smear of silicone lube. That worked for me when I had the same problem.

It’s a metal on metal problem. The female “clip” won’t go over the “nub”. That’s clip with a “p”.
