Thanks Rick.
I have one spark plug lead that I may need to fix many hrs down the road because I don't like the way one of the ferrule/nut pairs go together. I had done some light searching and had not found anything other than new harnesses or new singular harness wire assemblies.

So... after looking at the tools, I went searching for the L-1178 service manual.
I have not found that in a free pdf download yet. Anybody have suggestions or is this a purchase only item?
