TOPIC:

does anyone know if the plug wires on the ignition coil from a 80' 440 ltd are seperate from the I. coil? I need to replace the wires but I didn't want to just pull them out and find out later that they weren't built to do that. Thanks,

cody

Lets see if I can post a pic. Not sure about your bike and coils but if the wire or wires have a collar where the wire enters the coil then you can unscrew the collar and remove the wire, If no collar then perhaps you can cut the existing wire and splice a new one ?

Ok thanks, that helps alot, looks like I'll have to cut and splice. thanks again

I've never done it but have heard that there are little thingies available to help join the new wires to the old. It might be a good idea to search the archives or check at a local auto parts store.
Good luck

These ones,I got from NGK,and they DO work great!
You just cut off the wire at the coil(leaving a couple inches from the coil),and install these.
There's plastic tapers and rubber compression fittings inside,so they're waterproof,and it also makes for a snug fit.

Sandy, you are The Man! You've evolved into quite a wrencher; especially for a Canadian!
I hope all is well with you.
