Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility Check:
Before installation, verify that the Intermotor 76167 part number is listed as compatible with your vehicle's make, model, and year. Consult your vehicle's service manual or a reputable auto parts catalog.
Installation:
- Ensure the engine is cool and disconnected from the battery.
- Carefully remove the old ignition leads, noting which lead connects to which spark plug and cylinder.
- Identify the corresponding new lead by its length and terminal type.
- Attach the new leads securely to the spark plugs and the ignition coil/distributor cap. Ensure a firm click or seal.
- Double-check all connections.
- Reconnect the battery and start the engine to test.
Care:
Ignition leads require minimal direct care. Keep the engine bay clean to prevent debris from accumulating around the leads and terminals. Periodically inspect the insulation for any signs of damage, cracking, or hardening. Ensure connections remain clean and free from corrosion.
Replacement Interval:
It is recommended to check the condition of your ignition leads regularly and consider replacing them every 40,000-60,000 miles as part of preventative maintenance.
