Default ignition lead metal clib came off ?

Hi Guys,

While removing the ignition leads where they attach to the plugs, one of them came off the the metal clip still on the plug.

is this something that can be fixed, or do I need to get new leads?

Thanks,

depends how good you are and the type of lead

if you can move the insulator back on the lead to expose the end fold the inner lead over the ts outer insulation crimp the clip over it (trim off any excess) and move the insulator back down.

you will generaly get out of trouble this way, what have you got to loose, if it works the car will run smooth if not it will have a miss on that cylinder
