or- pull a drew, and do this:

I got tired of the strange routing I had to do because the headers don't have a safe place to loom the wires to keep them OFF of them..

laugh if you will, but this is golden imHo:

I bought two packages of heater core hose at advanced.. I sliced it open from end to end, and use them to cover my ignition wires..

If I have a spark compromise that tubing, as in cross-fire.. I've got worse problems on my hands- as I'm driving an electric death trap..

buy a set, as Aim's says, that has good end clips for the cap and the plugs.. then shroud them, and never look back.

 

so basically im paying for the thickness? so if i find a coupon or something and get a good deal then itll be worth buying them

 

So girthy is better?

Who'da thunk.

 

not to change the topic guys but, how about an entire msd ignition system?

 

 

that's what she said.....



sorry... you GUYS made it too easy..

they are generally thicker in effort to contain (insulate) the spark, so the plug gets a good solid charge- but the medium can't be but so big so the charge doesn't diminish.. the inner conductor has been pretty much nailed down, and dang near all companies are going to use the same material and density conductor.. the insulation varies though..

I went with the heater core hose because I run the things in long parallels, with them running danger close to the headers at places.. They can't possibly cross fire with all that insulation, and the heat from the header pipes ain't going to melt them.. it's a win win lose.. lose, because it looks goofy.. but nobody sees it but me, so screw it..

 

I want to see it.
My headers have melted a couple wires before.

 

Cross-fire is not the issue with the wires. The problem is that running the wires in long parallel creates a significant enough mutual inductance to create a voltage in one wire due to the magnetic field from the current in the other wire.

The solution to this is better "shielding". Some materials work well for this, but I don't think that rubber is one of them.

 

wouldnt think its changing the topic but Ive been thinking about the entire system as well but its a little more than 200 for the cheap one. (i was told it might correct my misfire on #8 in high rpms)

 

I ran a full MSD ignition, Box, Coil, Distributor, wires... on a non-computer controlled small block chevy, and it was a major difference from the old stock HEI.... but, I expected some difference simply because it was a better system.....

On a computer controlled car, not sure you would see much of an improvement, aside from a smoother idle....... but, at the price of faster wearing plugs, wires cap and rotor.
