I am about to do this mod tomorrow. That picture helps. What tool do I need to get the wires out of the plug?

Mine are face up with 9" wires that are 10.4 mm from koolines and they are perfect.
If you want the fatter wires, you have to ask for them. The standard wires are 8mm.

If you put your coil face up, you won't have to change any wires on your plug.

Cool man.... Thanks for the tip.

I think I will be getting those fat wires. I have to get a heater in my garage first. My fingers and toes were frozen working on my bike.

can you splice the coil wires to extend them without any issues?
