Even routing it the shortest way to the new angled spark plug cap I have, the wire just allows the cap to screw into it. Not banjo string tight but hardly any play with the wire.

A cheap and easy way to repair this I think, would be using a short sharpened finishing nail and driving one side into the stock wire leaving the coil about an inch from the coil. Then attach a new section of solid core copper wire to other side of the finishing nail in the additional length that I need. Then use some shrink wrap to insulate the joining wire ends.

Good idea or Bad idea ?

Or is using the NGK spark plug wire splice better ?

Upon completion of the shrink-wrapping, could test for high tension voltage leakage through the splice by gripping the shrink-wrap with naked fingers where the wires join and revving the engine to say 4000-5000 rpm.

Good Fortune!

SHOCKING.

Steve, As well as fixing my Fuel Petcock, I also switched coil positions and wired correctly. Spark plug wire that originally a little tight at #4 is fine in length with the 2 inside cylinders. Problem solved

Good to hear.
