bigdodge88 Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 I have tried looking on here to see how everyone is doing plug wires and I have a few questions. I have bought 30 gauge wire and am ready to put it on my engines. What to I attach it with? I have tried two part epoxy, medium ca and model glue. Nothing works!! What am i doing wrong or can someone explain the procedure? Pics or a video of the process would be fantastic! Thanks, Justin

my80malibu Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 You might try wiping the wire with Alcohol, to get any residue from the manufacturing process off of the casing then try CA glue. I prefer the gel, It work's for me.
Fender Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 CA will not work on certain type wire casing. It just runs off and it won't adhere to plastic. I can't remember which type it is but we had some where I used to work untill I retired from there and all I do now is build models. HA!!!! I wish.

crazyjim Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 I drill holes in the head and then insert a piece of the vinyl jacket cover from telephone wire (black, red, green, yellow). The wire is stripped out first. The jacket is forced into each hole. The ignition wire then slides into the jacket. Sometime I'll use a drop of Micro Krystal Klear on the spot where the wire goes into the jacket. I use CA glue to glue the wires into the distributor.
Kaleb Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 Im having the same problem :/ I cant find wires small enough except 28gauge.
montenegro_adrian Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 Im having the same problem :/ I cant find wires small enough except 28gauge. I bought some 30 gauge wrapping wire from radio shack, i think it's like 3.99 for 50 ft, comes in red, white, and blue. very easy to work with too.
bigdodge88 Posted March 11, 2011 Author Posted March 11, 2011 Thanks for all the help fellas. Sounds like the most common way is drilling a hole. Time for some work.
walt francis Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 Just add phone wire casing then super glue wires in and add more casing on the end to go in to plug hole
