The wires are circa 1983 or older from when I got the car.
Did they even have carbon then?
For years I have always just pushed the fibers against the washer and then
put the nut on the coil. Never a problem. Last time I stripped more
insulation and put the fibers through the washer and bent over. Still no
problems....yet?
Maybe I have just been lucky.
Note to Dave Nock - yeah, that is how I used to do it with copper.
