20v Blacktop Spark Plug Wire / Ignition Questions

Postby 40vpurpletop » Fri Sep 01, 2017 4:56 pm

I have a 20v Blacktop with the distributor relocated to the front. Does anyone know where I can get a set of plug wires for it? I read that the wires would be too short if I buy an off the shelf one. Or if anyone knows the length of the wires I need to get if I buy a custom set from Magnecor?

Also, I tested my spark with a tester between the plug and the wire and the color was orange. Should it be blue?

Thanks!

I used NGK spark plug wires from, IIRC a 96 4runner 4 cylinder, it's the one with the 3rz before they went to coil on plug. They are totally plug and play other than not having the rubber boot to cover the plug tube on the valve cover. I improvised with the plug wire boots that came with my back top. The wires are a little long, so I just had to get creative with the wire routing, but better to be too long than too short IMO. :)

Any other suggestions. I use a 1UZ-FE distributor so I use this style boot for my 20V.

Hello,

For my 20V build I run the distributor on the front of the exhaust cam. I took some measurements and ordered a set of Nology Hotwires. Overkill, but they look great and will last for quite some time.

I’m on my iPad and I haven’t found the method for posting a picture yet. I’ll work on that.

EDIT
