Also running a Petronix Ignitor with no issues. On some web sites they allude to electrical interference between the wire tubes to the point that the Petronix malfunctions. The tubes will only accommodate 7mm wires. I do know that you are advised not to use solid core wires with the Petronix. I have recently sent an e-mail to Petronix asking their advice. Has anyone experienced trouble these tubes and the Petronix?

Keep the ends long so the tubes are a little farther back from the plug end and you should be just fine. If Petronix is that touchy, I wouldn't want it anyway.

I can explain it to you, I can't understand it for you.
