Spark Plug wires

[rtquig]

Do you have to purchase an entire set of 6 spark plug wires? I only need 2, seems water got under the hood and rusted the metal housing on the spark plugs and I can't get the threads out from the plug cables. The Plug wires are braided and in excellent condition. I have been putting penetrating oil on them every night in the hopes of somehow getting them apart. The other 4 wires unscrew easily by hand. I have seen sets online that cost around $200, but if I could get away without buying the whole set it would help.

You should get by with 2 IF the other 4 wires are in good shape on the inside. From time to time eBay has them at a very reasonable rate. You can use the ones off of an M-38/M-38A1 also if the length are the same.

The wires are all in good shape, the problem is part of the spark plug that tightens into the cable rusted out and broke off flush with the plug wire connection. I am going to see if I can get the rusted plug out of the connection but If I can get new wires it would save me some tedious work.
