Default Ignition wires

As the Honda plug wires are pricey, I am posting what I think can be substituted. The Ford Zetec motor uses very similar wires. I don't know if the smallest one will work however. The Zetec motor is used in the Ford Contour, Escort and Focus. Different manufacturers make them. If someone installs them with success, please give feedback so that others may benefit.

Why not make your own? I did with MSD wires and caps and Dyna Coils. The coils had to be mounted on a separate plate but they still fit in the stock location. If I get a chance, Ill take some pics and post.
Pricewise, about $30-40 for wires and about $90 for coils on ebay. Granted not the cheapest, but still cheaper than OEM /Dealer.

Also purchased the pliers and die heads for pinching the ends, very reasonable since I also use the pliers for other wire work.

I was more concerned about the plug caps. The factory ones keep debris out of the holes. The Ford plug caps will do a good job of this. A set cost about $34 USD.

You would need to get some small O-rings to slide on the wires to seal them from water at the coils. The factory ones will not be reusable. You can get them cheap from a hardware or plumbing store.

You should definitely post pictures.
