PleiadesUnited Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 (edited) I'm on my third set of plug wires. My '83 Turbo is completely stock. First set was Iridiums from Rockauto, two were WAY too long and coil wire was wrong. Second set was Duralast, two were WAY too short and coil wire was too short. Now NGK's from Rockauto, two are too short, two are two long and coil wire is about, oh I don't know, 1/3 the length it should be. Can somebody give me any info on what I'm doing wrong, or give me a part number of what they buy?

andrsn Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 I bought these recently and the lengths weren't perfect but they worked: Standard Motor Products 9488 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbosubarubrat Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 You keep getting ones for ea82's or ea82t's. if you get a set for a ea81 all the wires would be right besides the coil since it would be too short. When i replaced a set on ea81t wagon i had to piece together 2 sets of ngk's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah if you look at the photo, the wire to the far left is the coil wire. To what motor I have no idea. Definitely not ours tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind piecing together two sets, but I don't even know which sets or car info to give to get 5 right sized wires. Thanks for telling me that you had to put two sets together. At least I know that's something I may have to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skishop69 Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Weird. I get the premium wires from NAPA (Balkamp) for my '84 and they're spot on. EA81 turbo and N/A are the same wires so.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
