So guys,

Like the title says, I just cant find the right plug wire set for my boat. 1995 5.8Fsi PHUCCE . The old VP number is 3851817. I have not been able to find a cross reference to another set.

So then I was hoping I could use what a lot of the PCM guys use because they run the same 5.8's with the GT40 heads that I do. But their's don't work because their boots are 90* angle boots.

So then I tried a set for the 1994 Ford Lightning because that's the same motor as well, and many parts cross. They have the correct 135* angle plug boots, but they are too short, and the connector in the boot is a bit too short also.

If anyone can help me find a set of the right plug wires, I'd sure as heck appreciate it. I really don't want to buy a 3rd set just to have to return those as well.

Thanks, Chris

Might call/email a place like MSD. They make may kits for a custom fit. Searched "custom plug wire sets" and places like Jegs and others have some to choose from.

I searched on "volvo penta 3851817" and found several places showing sets for the 5.8 but you may have done this your self
