Do you offer fully rebuilt OBX differentials?
No... This is not something that I currently offer.
If you feel intimidated by the rebuild process I encourage you to
contact Chris @
http://www.turbosunleashed.com. Chris offers fully rebuilt
differentials and purchases the washers directly from me.
Yes, I am very willing to work with people on whatever they need!
I will need to know the lengths, and terminal/boot types for all of
the wires that are needed. The best way to do this is to use
an old coil wire, a piece of vaccum line, or even an extension cord
and mock it up. I then need center to center lengths for each
wire. Prices will vary based on terminal types and wire
length.
MSD wires are a low resistance high suppression wire. They
are durable and will last longer than stock or other high resistance
wires on the market. Some companies try to fool people into
thinking that the biggest goal in a spark plug wire is suppression.
While suppression is good it isn't the only thing that matters.
High resistance wires get very hot when used in a high performance
system. That is why MSD superconductor wires use copper wire.
High resistance wires will burn out due to this heat in short order
and begin to perform very poorly. MSD uses the same type
of suppression core as many other manufacturers and also has a 40:1
turn ratio which gives great suppression!
Honestly, none unless your old wires are worn out or defective...
Spark plug wires don't ever add horsepower they only take it away
when they perform poorly. Performance wires should be
purchased for durability and reliable spark delivery. MSD
offers a great wire which will keep your spark true.
The cap and wires were created because the stock 2.2/2.5
distributor cap is a piece designed for low cost not performance.
If you look at the early 1979/1980 VW 1.7 cap you can see that it is
exactly the same as the 1985 2.2 cap except it uses the 2.2/2.5
spade terminals. This was done to avoid molding in the metal
inserts in the cap as a cost savings.
The spade terminals present many problems for us:
- It is very difficult to pull of a wire when you are working
on the car and it is in the way.
- The wires are the thing that wears out in this setup not the
cap. This is backwards!
- 90 degree boots/terminals can't be cleanly used with the
spade terminals.
I am more than happy to sell individual caps without wires when
they wear out. One of my customers currently has over 120,000 miles on his converted cap and the brass terminals are still going strong. This shows that unless the plastic breaks they are very durable! I make a new batch of caps from time to time
and make sure to have them in stock.
