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.

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.

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.
