Which type of spark plug terminal do you like best?
The spring type or the clip type
And where do you purchase yours?

[dave-bernard]

the top one, boot and spring

[Tubs]

They were sold as Sparky’s when I was a kid. Its what I prefer but I have a bunch of the left over crimp connectors from universal plug wire kits and I cant seem to through anything out.

 

A "Boathouse Repair" is one thats done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.

I like the spring type, even though they are a pain to install correctly

[crosbyman]

not really..    a touch of grease will let them slide  in backwards  as you pull the wire back

I like the springs one also but  all my latest jobs used Belden automotive  solid strand   7mm  with boots molded on.   they are a  it long  I just snip a bit off … the prices have exploded  but I have enough left.

I use both. Malory clip and spring type. using the Malory crimping tool works best. Dawn for slippery it will dry out. dielectric grease for the spring  and clips so you don’t have to pull on the boot so hard. I do reuse the original boots. they look original. I don’t think what is inside matters

Note: During a misfire episode going across the lake. you think to yourself is it the spring boot as the mark 20 drops on cyl?

I buy the Johnson/Evinrude ones.

Just read your post. I am new to the club.
Check out these guys when it comes to plug wires they have it  all. I use clip type with a crimping tool.

I have used these in the past but prices are now crazy(was <50$/kit)… solid   strand and I just  shorten the boots  to regular size.

I buy a universal, solid core, spark plug wire set meant for old tractors at a local Tractor Supply store. They come with the spark plug terminal and boot already molded onto the end, and the other end is just the wire; so all I have to do is cut the wire to the length I need and do what’s necessary to hook up to the coil. They can also be bought online:
