my original FIOS battery has different terminals, so I can't use the old wires on the new battery - how do I get new wires

I suppose that you mean the spade lugs on the UB1270 are wider (1/4") rather than narrower(3/16") ? There is 'usually' a designator such as a dash part number (like UB1270-F1 or UB1270-F2) indicating the wider or narrower. BUT: Please check to insure which is which in the Specs! And, Radio Shack has a lug assortment, or even the higher priced Batteries Plus, that can custom make any adapter. These are simple for most radio/electronic hobbyists: two bits of wire, and 2 female lugs, and 2 male lugs, then crimp. However, should you mean 'different' as screw-on or some other, again, a hobbyist should be able to cobble up a simple set of adapter wires. (Parts cost $1 ?, but a professional will charge you 5 to 10$ to make them !)

I had the same problem with the old unit. It can't be fixed. The new one just plugs in snd works great.

I have done a couple of replacements from the roof. It is kind of tricky because there is not much room for your hands and tools. Be sure the power is off because the heat in the attic could cause the wires to become energized.

You have to use new one. I had to take panel off wall and fish wires all over again.

If I remember correctly, I had the same issue. I used the existing ones, by removing the new ones from the assembly and attaching the rest to the old electrical plugs. Good luck.

You need to splice the oem hot wire of the old distributor to the new wire that goes to the BATT side wire coonector of your new distributor .,if u have more questions u can call or text me to my phone . 479-414-7825 . Dave. Hope info helps. It's good that you are replacing old points dist. You will have plenty of firewall clearance. I did that to my old 73 monte I used to have.

Check the polarity on the line Could be the issue. Switch the wires on line 2. Also is one Fios and the other is a copper old line if so that could be the issue. I been their

It really doesn't matter. Just make sure to totally disconnected both leads from the old battery and then connect the new battery.

Not sure that I can add anything to this. The only thing I can say is to look at the way the wire was attached that you are replacing very carefully, and replace with new wire the same way. Look at other answers for details if you can not figure it out.

Pretty simple...just have to remove old unit and reattach new one, connecting the proper wires to one another...lots of instruction/how-to videos available on YouTube. It's not hard as each wire has a certain color, etc.

The connector wires spade tips from the old battery slide off the battery tabs. They are to be reused

I am not experienced with doing so because it comes with it. So I would have to strip the wire and add a new one. Which wouldn't look as nice. In all, pretty hard to replace.

Not sure. But here is how I did it. Got battery with same voltage and same size. Cut the connector off the old battery. Soldered the connector onto the wires of the new battery. Worked like a charm.

There is no trick. Just remove the clip from the wiring and unplug and plug in the new one.I was able to do it with my fingers only. You could use a flat had to assist with the clip

No - the terminals are firmly built in, and the weatherproofing pretty much prevents their removal. If you could get them out, it'd be very unlikely that the replacement wires/terminals would end up with a weatherproof enclosure when you were done.
