Ignition Cable: Description and Operation

SECONDARY WIRING
The spark plug wiring used with the ignition system is a carbon impregnated cord conductor encased in an 8 mm (5/16 inch) diameter silicone rubber jacket. The silicone wiring will withstand very high temperatures and also provides an excellent insulator for the high voltage of the ignition system. The silicone spark plug wire assembly boot forms a tight seal on the spark plug assembly and the boot should be twisted 1/2 turn before removing. DO NOT pull on the wire assembly to be removed. Pull on the boot or use a tool designed for this purpose.
