    Twin plug distributor cap spark is jumping

    Where to get straight RSR length twin plug wire boots for 7mm non resistor wires at the Distributor cap end?
    Been shopping at the usual spots
    Kingsborne, Beru, IMC, WorldPac, O'really, Autozone, Aase sales so far.
    I'd take a set of the old 356/912 Beru if I could find 'em.
    Appreciate the help!
    This is what I have 1 of currently. It's an old Beru boot.
    I'm looking for ones that are 3-4" in length.
    These would work if that's what is available.
    It's about 44mm in length, about 14mm i.d. on the wide end, 6.7 mm at the small end.

    I might have what you are looking for if you could post a reference photo.

    Hi Peter,

    I have the boots new, happy to sell you some. They are Beru G2P. Used on the Marelli twin plug caps from 911R to RSR days..

    Thanks,

    Brad

    I only have (8) of the ones in my photo (1 7/8"). If you need the longer ones (3-4" long), I will have to check for those.

    Hi Tom and or Brad...
    I'd still like to buy some of the boots, I now need 7 of them or I'd buy a set of 12.
    Whatever works!
    Please let me know.
    Thanks.
    Peter

    It appears to me that the boots you want have the resistors in them. I also run a resistor in my twin plug system.
