Spark plug wires

Post by Bill Cleveland »

I am running an Accel 52000 breakerless distributor in my bucket. I am also using Taylor solid core wires. I read recently that this is a big no-no with breakerless distributors, as it will fry the module in the distributor. Is that true??? Should I change to suppression type wires?

(This is me when it comes to electrics . . . )

Just me maybe but I don't like solid core wire anymore, so I would say you need to only use resistor wires..........But I don't have a cut & dried reason ,,,,,,,,, :)! :)! :)! :)!

I just might decide to run a radio and I think those solid core wires interfer with more than a radio you have to remember we did not have all this high tech stuff way back when...... :)! :)! :)! :)! :)!

OK, so I downloaded an article from ACCEL and they say, "Do NOT use solid metal core spark plug wires" with breakerless distributors!
So . . . I ordered these:
