Plug wire problem

[bhacker9]

Has anybody had the problem of your spark plug wire falling off your distributor cap while driving? It seems to happen at least once a month. What do you think I should do to fix this problem? I was thinking changing the wires and the cap. Thanks

All you have to do is space out the little metal prong on the inside of the boot with a small screwdriver or pliers.When it is dark with your car running and after you space out that prong, spray some water over your older spark plug wires and if you see a arc then you need new wires, if you dont I wouldn't replace them yet.

Thanks for the help. I like the screwdriver/pliers idea. btw i dont do burnouts, tires cost to much
