Chevy Impala Spark Plug Wires, Ignition Wires

Unlike diesel engines where the air/fuel mixture is ignited by means of compressed and thus enormously hot air, gasoline engines require spark plugs delivering electrical impulses to each of the cylinders. Spark plugs are connected to the car’s electrical system via the wires which may differ depending on the type of the system employed. A mechanically controlled ignition system that relies on a distributor (which routes high voltage) features heavy-duty cables. More modern systems with electronic control modules typically transform voltage right before it reaches spark plugs, which is why they employ thinner, light-duty wires.

The type of spark delivering equipment that is employed by your Chevy Impala depends on its generation. Carbureted engines traditionally use mechanical distributors whereas those utilizing the fuel-injection technique are provided with computerized management. In both cases, though, cables don’t tolerate any damage, as it would disrupt the energy delivered to the spark plugs and thus compromise the efficient operation of the engine. On our virtual shelves, you can find a wide assortment of Chevy Impala replacement spark plug wires, ignition wires & components for both classic, carbureted models and modern Impala versions employing highly sophisticated computerized systems.
