Lightbulb Plug wire conspiracy???

Has anyone else noticed that every single time you do a tune-up, the plug wires are just a little bit longer?? Since I have know how to turn a wrench, each wire is about 3/4" to 1" longer than the original? Even if its not the original set, the new ones are STILL longer! I think that there is some kind of conspiracy going on here.

It seems like plug wires 3 and 7 should be just a little bit longer. Mine have the large black boot on them so you can't pull on the wire directly. It makes it kinda tricky to get em off.

I once had a parts guy tell me my car didn't need plug wires cause they weren't listed in the computer. So you wanna talk about a conspiracy, go take off all your plug wires and return them....ya don't need them.

I heard the same thing about taking off the wires. It's the latest thing. It's called "Wireless Ignition". All you have to do is boost your ignition voltage to 50,000,000 volts and that baby will jump from the distributor right to the spark plugs!

Shows you what kind of education are "pass em or they'll feel bad" school system is putting out.
