had my coil wire pop off on me over the weekend. had to use a bread tie to make it stay on (didnt bring any zip ties). I have brand new bosch plug wires and the boots dont fit tight on the coil or the disributor and the wires seem kinda hard to me. I bought them from advanced so i may have got some that were sitting on the shelf for years. can anyone suggest something better?
