ok on futher investigation i noticed my wires actually look good. i know the spark plugs were replaced before i took ownership and maybe they replaced them too. also i think mine are the direct wire type which require only 2 wires

i only see two wires and two square coils on the other 2 so i m fine on these. i guess i should have done this before i posted sorry:confused:

well when i took my kompressor cover off i seen two wires and two square coils.(direct fire) i m not a expert here but if yours is similar i think you only need the two wire set up. but again ask some one who has done this. the link i have on this has a set up of two wires for bout 95 buck. also when i have read in the past your better off getting the copper plugs since the engine was designed for it. (better conductor) these iridium spark plugs that people have used really dont gain much on these engines. again this is what i have read in the past :D

Iridium spark plugs don't really gain much power in any engine, but you do gain a lot in terms of longivity. An iridium spark plug can easily go over 50k miles without needing to be replaced.
