Sierra Stranded Core Wire

[Mumbles]

I found another good deal on Amazon.ca but this time it’s for spark plug wire. Not for fuel pumps or water pumps

The first roll I bought arrived in two days from Vancouver but the second one won’t be here for a week with the holiday season here. The rolls are 100′ long and have white Hypalon insulation under a black jacket which I like. Some other Sierra wire I bought from my auto supply just had black insulation and was as limp as a noodle so I returned it. These prices are in Canadian dollars but a little bit more will be added on for our PM’s pension plan at checkout.

The link above to it doesn’t seem to work so if you search Amazon.ca for the wire and this seller, Canada Direct, you should find it.

good deal at about 68 cents CDN a foot (incl. taxes) delivered at home…

(humm..I need 25 more motors to fix up 🙂 will I live that old ?

… NAPA sells the same stuff at $3.59 plus 15 % taxes here

my local bike shop is about $2.00 a foot ..cash

ho well… the only way to get rid of an urge is to give into it….:-)

I buy by -the-foot on eBay for about a buck a foot…

That spool price is nice, but I don’t need 100′. I don’t work on as many engines as you guys do…

Funny, I have a roll of both kinds and I kinda like the limp stuff a little bit better. It seems not to get caught on stuff as much, when magnetos move. Just my own observation. To each his own, certainly. My all-black stuff is branded “Packard,” so maybe it’s different from what you have, Mumbles.

Long live American manufacturing!

Remember Boat Fix? I ordered 1 thermostat and got 1 bag of thermostats. so I ordered 1 foot of plug wire and got 1 roll. I guess they didn’t understand U of M. Just like the big marina down the road who couldn’t sell me a 20 hp Yamaha because they are package only. I called to see if they had a shift shaft seal for a 9.8 Merc. The parts guy gave me a hard time telling me they come in a bag of 10 (or 5). And he indicated I would have to buy the whole bag. (real Jerk) I said no problem. I went to the parts counter and the summer help girl sold me the whole bag for the price of 1 seal. Some times you luck out.

Last year I went to my window-doors shop for ONE small clip used to hold the spring is a sash window.

They ( the clerk) wanted to sell me a bag of 12 “minimum order” he said !
told him to get the manager out of his office .

I told the manager for the 15K$ window job I gave his company years ago I want ONE clip…. told him they don’t charge for mustard and relish on a hot dogs why in the world should I pay for 12 clips for a small maintenance part .???

He openned up the bag aand gave me a clip.
