SPARK PLUG CABLES

GENERAL
Resistor-type high-tension spark plug cables have a carbon-
impregnated fabric core, instead of solid wire, for radio noise
suppression and improved reliability of electronic compo-
nents. Use the exact replacement cable for best results.

WARNING WARNING
Never disconnect a spark plug cable with the engine run-
ning. If you disconnect a spark plug cable with the
engine running, you may receive a potentially fatal elec-
tric shock from the ignition system which could result in
death or serious injury.
CAUTION
When disconnecting each spark plug cable from its
spark plug terminal, always grasp and pull on the rubber
boot at the end of the cable assembly (as close as possi-
ble to the spark plug terminal). Do not pull on the cable
portion itself. Pulling on the cable will damage the
cable's carbon core.
