Spark Plug Ignition Wire Sets--As Original, Metallic Core

The Classic Preservation Coalition now stocks new-production, metallic core, correct resistance spark plug wire sets for all pre-1970 cars, trucks, industrial, agricultural, and marine engines.

Here are some very important reasons you should use these wire sets on your classic vehicle:

  1. Early point-type ignition systems were made to operate on and deliver correct voltages to the spark plugs through low-resistance, metallic, solid core plug wires.
  2. Most wire sets you will purchase today are the newer HEI (High Energy Ignition) type. These wires are designed for use on ignition systems with outputs of 35,000 to 45,000 volts. Your original classic point-type ignition system operates in the 20,000 volt range. Putting modern HEI wires on your 20,000 volt classic ignition system causes low voltage to the spark plugs, resulting in hard starting, poor gas mileage, decreased performance, rough running, fouled plugs, and other symptoms that seem carburetor-related, when, in fact, they are being caused by incorrect plug wires.

Here are some important specs for the wires I sell:

  1. The wire core is tinned copper or stainless steel 7mm wire.
  2. The wire outer coating is black Dupont Hypalon.
  3. The wire resistance value is .005 ohms/ft., compared to 500 to 5,000 ohms/ft. for today's HEI wires.
  4. All wire sets come with connectors and boots.
  5. Straight boot sets are available for 4, 6, & 8 cylinder engines.
  6. 90 degree boot sets are available for 6 & 8 cylinder engines.

When you're looking for optimum performance from you classic vehicle's engine, be sure to add one of these wire sets to its future.
