I pulled the OEM wires from my 77 6k. The rubber is hard crisp and boots cracked through. Amazing the things run as well as they do with carbon particles on a bit of string and free air open cracked boots. Corroded terminals too not bright metal. These will be going to Indiana to my USA vendor to be copied for fit this week. Hope to have 2012 tech wires with stainless terminals and silicone boots sooner than later. Fingers crossed with excitement.

He previously posted while he was in the hospital that he was going to have some silicon spark plug wires made for the Onan.

Sorry. Yes the ignition or plug wire set of 2 . If you remember in 60s when you did a "tune up" wires were to be replaced every 25k as the carbon conductor wires had a sacrificial service life. The old tech wires on most of our Onans timed out many years ago. In today's OBDII world the new tech wires have to meet emmisions at 100k miles and beyond.
