My wires are arcing pretty good. I need to buy or build fresh ones.

I'm running this ign4 coil pack.
https://www.diyautotune.com/product/ign-4-four-tower-coil-pack/

So I need either bulk wire and ends so I can make some up or pre-made wires with the right ends to fit the coil pack.

Anybody?

Max

I wonder if the lengths are right for a type-3.

Does that coil fit with the regular vw plug wire? What plugs do you use? I have one for a silly type 1 project, and with the ignitors installed, it seems like the perfect Microsquirt coil.

Probably won't work with stock wires. The coil-pack has the pin-type posts and I've located it over where the stock type-3 coil was. So I'll need two short wires and two longer ones.

To answer the rest of your question, this coil pack is great if you're running crank-trigger with no distributor and wasted-spark.
