Spark plug wires
 
I have one bad wire. Right now I cannot afford an entire set. Does anyone know if 1987 911 turbo plug wires will work on my 85 Carrera? Thank you, Nick

Have you tried snipping 10mm off the ends and reconnecting them. My SC set had different levels of resistance then I did the reconnecting thing and they all came right.

Hi bill , I took the wire to a mechanic for repair but he ruined it beyond repair.

Large sigh.

This has to be the post of the week. A "mechanic" ruined a spark plug wire?

I'm still grinning to the point of pain.

Give me a break! I was desperate . It was a guy in bay number 8 at pep boys who said he was an expert on plug wire repair. I don’t have $150 right now.

Where are you located? I have a few used spare ones.

Nick Triesch 03-12-2018 08:14 PM

I’m in Chula Vista ca 91910. A long ways away! 7 miles from downtown San Diego.

rattlsnak 03-12-2018 08:16 PM

ok, i would think someone out there has one laying around!

Nick Triesch 03-12-2018 08:19 PM

I will pay for the wire and shipping. Mine is number 3 wire so maybe something close.

Nick Triesch 03-12-2018 08:46 PM

Marc, let me check around here a bit more. If I can’t find one I’ll
Let you know,, nick.

I might have some old ones from an 82 SC. I’ll confirm and PM you.

Found one at my local independent Porsche shop. He had just what I needed! It is called performance independent Porsche repair. A terrific shop owned by Mark.
