i had bought a set of plug wires for my 91, and it came with 5.. but my cap only has four..

so are the newer tegs have the 5 plug caps? and if so, what is the 5th plug for?

 

dont forget that you have an internal coil

so if you upgrade lets say to a
MSD ignition coil it goes ooutside the distributor
so thats when you need the 5th wire
to hook up the coil...
using a 8290 cap with the 5th post.

hmm, so there isnt a stock car that uses the 5 wires?

I believe F Series motors have four spark plugs plus an additional wire for external coil, which comes stock...

 

oh, ok.. cuz i saw it on a honda/acura be4 but didnt know on what engine..

thanx guys, and ive been thinking about upgrading to MSD SCI system for my car.. so i can use that 5th wire later down

 

better yet a
6a+ msd ignition.

and yes you could use the 5th wire...

ps
insulate your wires very well so that you dont have
trouble starting your car..
