Miguels Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 anything that can insulate the spark plug wire, i have had engine noise when my wires go bad edit: one reason why old cars miss fire the spark from 1 would jump to another hence to why most car companies use a coil close to the source, giving you better performance my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fmedina Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 okay if he runs the spark plug wire close to power wire he can get engine noise, try putting protection over the jacket of the wires, i still think you have room to run that + wire without coming close to the spark plug wire, there is just no way. the alt is sitting higher and the spark plug wires run back to the distributor dude you make no sense. you can not get engine noise from the power wire being close to the spark plugs lol. you can get noise from the rca's being ran together with the power wire to the amp. thats why you always run power and signal on opposite sides of the car..

Guest Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 spark plug wires already have insulation on them... insulation goes bad after time yeah...thats when you replace them. not add your own. i never understand where you get the things you talk about. practically every post i've read from you since you've joined makes little to no sense whatsoever.
