[Amps] High Voltage Wire

[Al Kozakiewicz]

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.
