and a little more info:



Hope it helps.....
Trigger wires (small ones)
each side has a black/red wire
one side has black/org wire
the other side has black/white wire

The black/red is common so they go to one side of each of the coils.

The other two are the 'trigger wires' for each cylinder. The schematic does not say which is which, so trace which one is for the front and which is for the back. Mark with tape or something else suitable.

So the black/whi goes to the other side of one coil and the black/org goes to the other one. Polarity on these connections does not matter. I drew the arrows to show it best to match the two coils even if just for troubleshooting later on. (Note: my coils are mirrored)

The spark plug wires themselves can go to either plug, so long as each coil goes to the same cylinder. In my picture you see the upper connection going to the left side plugs. It does not matter since both spark plugs, in each cylinder, fire at the same time.

I thought you guys replaced the coil wires when you replaced the coils.

On another note -is it worth it?

On another note -so I could just do the coils without new wires (apparently). What does a set of these cost?

On another note -should I get new cables, or does it really matter?

YES...YES...YES
Stock coils - approximately 18k volts to the plugs
Dyna Coils - approximately 30-40k volts to the plugs

Noticed a stronger fire immediately. I like them and will NOT go back to the OEM


You can change any or all of the 'system'. Best to do the entire 'system'
I had Taylor's first, not bad, cost about 65 bucks
Pros: Silicon, 8mm thick, kewl red color
Cons: Had to 'crimp' one end yourself, hard to make a contact on this type of wire.

I now have Magnecor wires, cost closer to 100 bucks
Pros: Fully premade wires, they crimp the ends for you. Really nice wire.

Good luck with the project....I just finished painting my dyna coils yesterday. I went with the magnacor wires as suggested by scawein. Cost me 85 bucks shipped to my door. Give them a call super friendly guy and knew exactly what I needed. Just had to give him meassurements.

I went with a set of graphite core Dyna wires. They're cut to fit so I made my own measurements
