Charlie -

I would not recommend any modern type wire set for any Healey unless
you purchase a TR6 dizzy cap (fits on BJ8 dizzy) or replace the dizzy
with a Pertonix/123/Mallory dizzy.

Your best bet is to make up your own wires using bumblebee wire or any
other solid metal core wire.  The cap on the 6-cyl works best with
solid metal wire core.  If it's any kind of suppressed wire it will
fail with that screw cap.
