When I was a senior in high school (long time ago), I had a a so called "full house", V-8 in my car. My girlfriend's dad always knew what time she got home as that ignition would wipe out his TV set from over a block away. I learned to never, ever bring her home while a big game was on. Better to get her home late than while a game was on!

Most car parts stores have "the real wire" in bulk

Be aware that modern OEM spark leads are resistive; usually something like a carbonized 
cotton "conductor" or perhaps monel or a similar alloy with an appropriate 
insulation. Been that way for decades.

Low resistance copper ignition wire is pretty much unusable except with 
carbureted racing engines.  The attendant RFI plays havoc with engine control 
computers needed for EFI, never mind the radio.

Hi Joe:

I used some sparkplug wire from the auto parts store to re-wire some of the PS 
in my Henry 3K.

I found it easy to work with and cheap enough.  The clerk had an open wire set 
that was missing 1-2 wires.  Think I hgave him 5 bucks for it.
