I'm having issues with the engine of my '41 1/2 ton shutting down for no apparent reason.

I currently have the metal sheathed ignition cable that goes to the coil.

Is there any reason that I can't, or shouldn't, replace this arrangement with automotive primary wire and an on/off toggle switch. I want to retain the stomper starter.

I am not concerned about security.

Thank you,
Ed

There is no reason you can,t do what you described. I just took my ignition switch apart and ran a new thermoplastic insulated wire inside the armorrd sheath.
