I bought those a month or so ago, and the screw-on ends are not nearly as good as the soldered-on ends that loopframes came with from the factory. I took the ends off my old wires and soldered them on to the new ones. I recommend that whoever is buying new ones not buy the screw-on ones, but re-use the old ones instead. Also, the boots for the distributor cap that MI supplies are too big. Dave said the snug-fitting ones are no longer available. If you force your old boots onto the thicker 440 wires they will probably split, so you must carefully enlarge the holes in the boots first. |
I've found that if I put a bit of silicon lubricant on the wire, the boot
will slide right on. As to the screw on ends, I'd have to agree with
you that the soldered ones are better.
