300E spark plug wires
Hi,
I'm a little confused on the igition wire setup. How do I tell if I have original oem ones or aftermarket. 105k with no service history available.
I see posts that original ones are all metal. Like a metal rod? hard not flexible? How do you identify oem.
Mine appear like a regular spark plug wire (flexible in the loop from the head to the plug) but have a metal sleeve around the boot of the plug. How do I tell what brand they are?
One of the wires has an occasionally arc at the boot area which causes a miss. So it seems I should get new wires but not sure what to order. With one arcing, I'm hesitant to pry off and see what plugs I have and whether there are any of those resistor ends I see in other posts for fear old wires may break more and leave me stranded again!
Car was stuck all last week due my tumbler, had some luck and got key to turn, phew!
Thanks, Jeff
