Plug wire boots for Schumacher Tri-Y

You are right about the passenger side. The #6 plug is too close to the shock tower for anything other than a 90 or a short 45. On the driver side the #7 can't use a 180 because the steering shaft is too close.

Ideal situation for me would be this:

#1, #2, #3, #4, #6 = 90 degree boots.
#5, #7, #8 = 45 degree boots.

Since I'm not about to buy two sets to get the combination I'll have to make the 90's work.

Did I mention that my kickdown linkage bellcrank doesn't clear the Schumacher's either? :)


I’ve had to buy 3 sets for some Ford stuff back in the 90’s.

It sucked for the customer but it was the only way we could see to not burn up the wires.

I could be wrong but I don’t think they had wires with the ceramic boots back then.
