Topic: 10k resistor wires?!?! 5ohm caps, cap angles??? what?????

[xsmooth69x]

i have a honda 1975 cb550

ive been lurking on archived threads and get different answers every time.

sooooo

where do i get 10k resistor wires..... and what gauge do i need

what caps do i get and why are their so many angles?

what angles do i need?

TT wrote some excellent pieces recently about plugs, caps, wires and resistance thereof. If you find any of his posts in your search you can take them as gospel.

Should be 5000ohm caps. NGK makes a couple different angles. I put straight caps on my outer and angled ones (not 90 degree) on my tow inner cylinders. I believe most 7mm wires should work. NGK makes those too. Are you splicing onto existing wires?

5000ohms  ow.....

im thinking about boring out my coils and actually replacing the whole wire..... i mean if that makes a huge difference or should i just use a ngk coupler thing? does doing the splice really hamper the spark?

so straight ones on the outside "angled" on the inside?

i used four of the same angle with stock wires here,5k ohm,,,you can read the part number on them .

dude you bike is so clean and beautiful it makes me cry.........

thank yyou for the pic

what ngk wires do i get?

do they have ngk wires with the cap already on them?

  where did you get those red plug caps, if you don't mind me asking....?

they came from david silvers gsx69bun,theyre ngk part number XDO5F,stock number 8072,xsmooth the caps have a screw type thread where the wire screws into,your wires are part of the coils,you can snip an eighth inch at a time from the wires untill you come to clean unscrewed around fresh wire,this might be your best course,you can cry again xsmooth i just sold that bike last night.

dave your a pro man, a pro!

how did you get that engine so clean?

and also you soak parts in molasse? what is that? like the tree sap

[dave500]

its a by product from sugar cane,,a thick dark brown treacle like goop,mix it about 50/50 with water and it removes rust and smells like rum,tastes like licorice,soaking for a week does the job mostly,its cheap,you can buy it at farm produce supply places.
