Remember to gap both plugs to .020 not your typical .030 or more. I use same AC plug as in 455. Ditch the old carbon wires that deteriorate with use and time. I had some experience with wires as we reproduced the original GM Suppression 1 through 6 numbered sets for the Buick GN in latest grey Magcore stock. Had to print 10,000' of each. For Onan I used some early plug wire samples and cut off the plug end. The coil end 90 then fits the Onan plug and you cut to length at the coil end (per Matts suggestion) The coil tower pierces the center conductor. The Buick wires are 8mm and fit the coil but the thread on glans won't fit. I sealed that with 3M electrical tape to test and still good. I suggest using 7mm wires where the glans and O ring should fit and tighten down. I have been meaning to make and sell wire sets but the MOQs are so high I'll have my money tied up forever. Runs noticibly better with Magcore wires and starts instantly.
