Re: [Chrysler300] Heni Plug Wires

[Roger Schaaf <obiwan10@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've posted this before, but will do so again for those who may not have seen my posting:

In the past I owned several different BMW 633's and M-635's.  One time I had purchased a brand new set of plug wiring for one of them.

One day I decided to change the plug wires in our 300 B because of several broken bakelite shields.  Found that replacement wires were expensive and had been also told that most were junk.

I took a look at those that I had for my BMW 6 series cars and found that they looked as though they had been made for the 300.  However of much higher quality(especially the insulators).  I took the 6 of them that I had (BMW 6 series are 6 cylinders) and replaced the B's plug wires with those for the BMW.  Even the lengths are almost perfect.  I did end up retaining a couple of the 300 wires that still appeared ok.

Have been in use for many years and function absolutely perfectly,,,in fact I suspect much better than the stock 300 wires.

I do not know current availability of these wires from BMW,,,,likely available.

The ones I got were of good quality, but also overpriced.  Both sets included plastic plug boots instead of the original ceramic style.  I don't think that's a problem, but I prefer the more original construction.   I needed still another set so I elected to build my own, since I already had an acceptable set of ceramic boots.  I bought a 25ft roll of good 7mm wire at an auto flea market and all of the wire terminals I needed to make them complete.  At each end of each wire when attaching the terminals I applied a quantity of 2-part epoxy (similar to JB WELD) to secure them better and I'm very pleased with the result.
