    Spark plug wire components that fit OEM distributor?

    I have a Bosch motorsport 00098 wasted spark coil pack, and the terminals are the same style as the OEM distributor. The inside of the terminals is a small stud, the same size as an m20 spark plug with the nub removed.

    I can't find any spark plug wire components that fit this style of coil. All the female ends for coils/distributors fit the larger diameter studs typical of American cars.

    How have others ran this coil? Just buy OEM wires and scavenge parts from them?

      I run a Bosch wasted spark system but it is the following and fortunately it has the other style which is more common so found some generic wires to begin with

      i eventually got proper wires (suitable length) my wires made by Firecore (very good quality)

      You can just buy some connectors and make your own but get quality stuff especially plug side as had cheap sets pull out of connector

        It does not.

        Finding the components is the issue. I'm sure someone has built their own wires for an m20 before, I can't be breaking new ground here.

          I made my own wires for the same wasted spark setup. I used these connectors for the same coil pack.

            So bumping this thread because I've recently found a new logic-level wasted spark coil pack that I really love. Used on the early 2000s GM 3.5-3.9L V6s (Impalas, Malibus, Monte Carlos, Silverados, etc.), and a set of plug wires from one of the same vehicles will work too, just with some of the wires being a bit on the long side. But really works great and being logic level, no need for a Quadspark!
