4 Cylinder Spark Plug Cables for Sale

Post by m37-man » Tue Nov 29, 2022 6:47 pm

Have half a dozen NOS plug wires for the first model AO53 engine for sale, for #1 and #3 cylinders, as used on the original M274 Mule. All but one in the original packaging dated 3/71, described as "Lead & Conduit Assy".

NSN 2920-715-9281, manufacturer's part no. 8744127.

Not sure if they also fit the second version AO53-1 engine, it uses the same plugs so maybe four cylinder fanatics can confirm.

Definitely will not fit the two cylinder AO42, the plug end has male vs. female fittings.

Thinking $25 each plus shipping, PM me if interest.

The picture is not really clear on the threads, it appears the threats on the side that connects with the magneto are on the outside, if so, then this would be for the 1st pattern A0-53 Mule Engine by Willys. These cables will only work on the 1st pattern magneto (which is internally threaded where the cables connect to it). They can be used on either engine depending on which series magneto is used, as both series of them are interchangeable but the plug wires must be changed as well.

In my opinion, either magneto works fine but to be correct, it would depend on the model (M274 or M274A1).

Are all 4 wires the same or is it dependant on location?

Here is a detail photo of the spark plug cable ends. Parts manual says it fits #1 & #3 cylinders, it is about 25" long, will fit #2 & #4 if those cables are shorter than that length.

What is the deal with Georgia MVPA, politics or just a general PITA?
