Ignition Wire Connector 5k Resistance

Product Description:

5k Ignition Wire Connector
These connectors are used primarily on the coil wire of CDI powered cars to maintain the correct resistance in front of the coil. This can be essential when using a replacement ignition rotor, which often does not have the correct resistance for Porsche CDI systems.

Maintaining correct resistance values is vital for preventing premature, inconvenient failure of CDI boxes and coils. Three-pin CDI systems require ~5K ohms on the rotor or cap-to-coil wire, plus ~1K ohms on the plug connectors. Six-pin CDI systems require ~6K ohms combined on the rotor and/or coil wire, ~3K ohms on the plug connectors, and ~1K ohms on each plug wire connector at the distributor cap.  

CDI systems should also have solid core ignition wires (not the resistance per foot type) as well as non-resistance spark plugs.

Twin-plug CDI systems are particularly susceptible to premature component failure, because twin plug rotors are almost never manufactured with the sufficient amount of resistance.

5K connectors are sold per each. We also have a set that includes this connector plus six of our 1K ohm cap connectors.
