Would like solid wire and a cut to length set if possible, 7-8 MM, street use, in 40-60$ range. I had a set like i described years ago that were accel, having trouble finding them. | | | | | Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 | I'm partial to Mallory Pro Sidewinders myself. Make sure you have a high quality crimper, cheap ones will make for a bad connection. BTW, Mallory and Accell are the same company, divisions of Mr. Gasket.

There are some serious problems with interference with radio and TV signals anywhere in the area of an engine running wire ignition conductors, and distributor cap and rotor contacts, and spark plug electrodes deteriorate very rapidly if the spark current isn't controlled by a resistor wire.
The fact that resistance-type conductors have been standard equipment on virtually all vehicles for over 50 years means it was probably a very good idea. I can't think of any reason to run wire conductors, even in most racing applications.
