Here is a great site to go for an outstanding price on 8 mm magnacor wires, about $68 a set, way under cost.

Quit taking your truck to thse domestic discount repair centers, they don't have a clue on working of Rovers. Also, why a tune up, you aren't ready by mileage for a tune up.

I took it there because that is the only place around. They are very nice people who do know how to work on Rovers.

The manager called me back and said the tech could get them in. AS of right now, they are putting them on with the Dielectric lubricant.

What your mechanic may be talking about is that magnecor wires do not fit into the wire clips on the side of the valve covers very easily. Also, magnecor wires are not identical in length to rover wires. The set I got was from .25-.75 on an inch shorter than the stock rover wires. Even so, they do fit, and can be made to work without much difficulty.

yes!.. that's exactly what he was talking about.

But they figured it out, and got it to work!

Thank you!!
