G'day
Could anyone explain please the difference (if there is any) between these 2 connectors ?

Is the insulation tube something generic or is it a specific Peugeot part ?the one on the left needs an insulation tube droped over it once the plugs are in .
The set on the right is insulated and only needs the top cover, that must cover the exposed metal at the top before fitting a plug lead with
Would that mean that I can use the one on the left (bare metal) as is ?I've seen, and had both types on 504s I've owned, as well as the spring types. The spring types come in two forms - a longer one plus a shorter one with an inline suppressor resistor. There is also a fifth version similar to the one on the right except that it has a thinner, moveable, black plastic sleeve.
As far as I'm aware, these later types do not require anything else to insulate them from the metal spark plug tubes, including the bare metal type. Unlike the spring type which will be reasonably close to the spark plug tube, the later type are a fair distance from the tube and would need a very big zap to arc across to the metal tube.
No it needs an insulator tube, as mentioned above.Would that mean that I can use the one on the left (bare metal) as is ?
I would prefer that as the one on the right is chinese.

I presume so. My 1980 504 had the bare metal ones and ran okay. Any other opinions?
Picture below:
Thanks for the advice^ I tried that once. It works for a while but is not heat resistant enough to last a long time, whereas Bakelite is.
Doush....don't even think about using rubber tubing. I did, and then found out that the carbon black in rubber conducts high tension electricity very well.
Yes, it is.I presume this is not a Peugeot specific part, right ?
Yes, it is.
