Hi all. I need to get some new spark plug wires and have noticed that on some sets, two of the spark plug end insulators are longer than the other two insulators. And I've seen other sets where the insulator lengths are the same for all four cylinders. Which is correct for the 2.0 engine?

I did see one post on this forum saying that the plug wire insulator lengths should be the same for all four wires for the 2.0 engine but different lengths for the 1.7 and 1.8 engines.

By the way, I bought a set of Denso wires but found that the #1 plug wire was not long enough to comfortably reach from the plug to the disty.

Well, I answered my own question with a little research. The "correct" ignition wires for a 2.0 will have equal length insulators on all four spark plug wires, whereas ignition wires for 1.7s and 1.8s have the two longer insulators. It seems like the unequal insulator length wires are what you'll end up with for your 2.0 if you just go with what most of the parts houses want to sell to you. They work but hey, who needs the extra weight

Pelican and other parts houses that are used to dealing with type 4's will get it right.

Yes, Auto Atlanta also got it right on this one.

Use 1976 912E 2.0 wires

Note: If you buy oversized wires, they won't fit on the engine tin wire clips.

Is anybody making their own?
