TheSubaruJunkie Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 Had the day off, so I decided it was time to make the Brat run as good, if not better, than my Wagon. Went to Autozone and got a new Accell super stock coil (got the yellow instead of the chrome). Also got some 8mm Accell plug wires that are yellow as well. Had to get a new set of NGK's to go with it all. I replaced the rotor and cap a couple months ago. Now that i have the coil and wires to help it, does anyone recommend a specific gap? Also, i stopped at harbor frieght and they had the cheapy off-road lights on sale. Ended up picking up 3 sets at $8ea. Im sure one set will go on the brat and get broken someday, but i think the other 2 will go on my roof rack when i get it -Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet82 Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 That's funny, I picked up the same lights at HF for the buggy roof rack. I'd be suprised if they're brighter than flashlights, but I wanted them for cosmetic purposes. Checker wants $21 for the same brand:D Now to find headlights..........?

TheSubaruJunkie Posted September 30, 2003 Author Share Posted September 30, 2003 The lights arent bad at all. Brighter than my headlights. Ive been through 3 sets of these lights before. I keep mounting them low enough to hit rocks. The casing is just plastic, so they shatter. -Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKIRA Posted October 1, 2003 Share Posted October 1, 2003 I have heard that the gap could be .45 - .50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSubaruJunkie Posted October 1, 2003 Author Share Posted October 1, 2003 I have them gapped at 0.050" give or take 0.005" The car pulls very nicely now, and alot smoother. I still have alittle hesitation, i believe its either carb trouble or exhaust. I will clean the carb as best I can later, and after the weber i'll upgrade to a 2" catless exhaust. -Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toybuilder Posted October 1, 2003 Share Posted October 1, 2003 Are the Accel wires made to fit the Subaru, or the cut to fit kind? If they are the cut to fit kind are they a pain to install? I need to get that setup for my new turbo motor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis ex24 Posted October 1, 2003 Share Posted October 1, 2003 no cutting... plug and play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSubaruJunkie Posted October 1, 2003 Author Share Posted October 1, 2003 The ones I got were cut to fit. 8mm, not a pain, pretty easy. I got a set for a V8, so now i have 4 extra 8mm spark plug wires. The hardest part is threading the wire through the boot. -Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
