Old plug wires on my 1989 renix were arcing like crazy, bought new duralast gold wires (yeah probably not the best lol), pulled the old autolite plugs and put in cleaned and gapped (.35-.40) champions out of my parts motor, pulled the coil off and cleaned the contacts, then put it all back together.
Ran alot better and had a little more power, but after driving it started having that misfire feel at idle like it had before with the old wires. Looked under the hood at night and saw that #4 cylinder wire was faintly arcing at the bottom of the plug and one of the wires to 5 or 6 looked like it was arcing off the dipstick tube. What im more concerned about is it looked like there were arcs off the coil too
Anything i could try to fix it?
Thanks in advance
