I got some plug wires and curious how much difference it makes regarding the Length the wires are cut to ?
Should all the wires be cut to same length or each wire be cut to the shortest Length from Distributor to plug ?

Concerning the boots is there a preference for either the angled wire boots or the straight boots?
I have both styles so I can make the wires using either boot style.

The wire is 7mm tinned copper core.
Tractor is MF 35 with Z134 engine

Thanks
 
In theory it does not matter how long the wires are as long as they reach each plug but many times the shorter the better so as not to hang up on brush etc. when out working the machine. As for the boot it does not matter which type you use

I was just thinking that the shorter the wire is the faster and hotter the spark would be getting to the plug
 
Just think of it this way, How long does it take for the power to get to your house from the power station? 3 feet or 3 inches would make no difference in the spark.
 
I like the straight boots on the sparkplugs as it gets the wires farther away from the block,
do not want wires touching the block as they will eventually wear the coating,
wire length long enough to do the job, but not in a bind or hanging down to catch on something.



I use copper core wires, little fergy needs all the electrical power he can get, no radio, so no static from wires.

spark VOLTAGE IS SO HIGH THAT EVEN IF YOU HAVD A 10 FOOT PLUG WIRE IT WOULD NOT EVEN BEGAIN TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE
