Doug,
Please contact me off-list. I sent an email a few days ago
looking for parts.
Yes, that wire pulling lube feels nasty but it leaves a
silicone-like
film on the wires after it drys, thereby allowing a little
"wiggle" with
engine vibration rather than chafing.
Liquid soaps can also be used, such as Dawn or Liquid Ivory
but it's not
as good.
BTW, the current batch of 5mm wire being sold for Yak/CJ's
has a very soft
silicone cover which is rather prone to tearing holes in it
if you don't
lube it.

You can get that wire pulling lube at Home Depot, usually in the electrical
pipe aisles.

I recently changed all the wires in my harness. Lets just say it's a
learning experience.
There is a method and tips. I hope these help it go easier.
1. Pull all plug wires back behind the cylinder baffles
2. Use good strong nylon or better cord (1/8) for pulling wire though
harness. Don't use safety wire as it galls on the edges of the harness openings.
3. Disconnect the woven metal harness from the harness tube sections (19mm
wrench), before pulling wire out or into the harness.
4. Start with the shorter wire (#1 #9 #2 #8) first. This makes getting the
longer ones (#5 #6 #7) easier to remove. Replace in reverse order (longer ones
first).
5. When you pull an old wire out BE SURE to tie the 1/8 cord to the wire so
as to pull the cord though the harness as you remove the wire.
6. With the woven part of the harness disconnect from the tube section, it
will be easier to pull the new wire though the tube sections.
7. MAKE SURE YOU KEEP TRACK OF YOUR WIRES VS STRINGS. LABEL THEM.
8. There is an electrician product for pulling wire though medal casing. It
looks like 'come,' white, very creamy, and very slippery. This will be a very
helpful getting the wire though. Its been mentioned before.
9. Make a special effort to streamline the point where you tie the cord to
the wire. I made several clove hitches 2 or 3 inches down from the end of the
wire. Laying the cord flat on the wire, I than use electrical tape to rap
around the cord and wire, allowing the cord to pull the wire straight in.
10. Remember that #1 mag is the L mag and fires all the front pulgs. #2 mag
is the right mag and fires all the rear plugs.
11. Be careful when pulling on the wire as it comes though the outlets of the
harness tube. Sharp edges can cut into the wire insulation.
It took me two day by myself to do this. Any questions about how I did it
you can get me at 386-467-3313

Thje aircraft industry standard product for this sort of job is a Dow
Corning silicon "grease". Commonly called DC4 compound it is available at
any aviation supplier. Whether it works better than the product Doug
mentioned I don't know but I have used it to install new wires in P & W
ignition harness a few times
I always have a tube on hand for many uses, "O" ring lube, etc.
