"A word from someone who has been there.....  Those silicone core wires are 
not made to work properly with the little screw-in "spears" (needle-screws) 
of the stock distributor cap.  The silicone eventually develops high 
resistance at the spear and you start having misfires.  Eventually it will 
not run at all.

If you want to use those neat silicone core wires all you need to do is get 
the distributor cap that fits your distributor and has push-interminals."

"The cap from a 1968 - 1972? MGB will fit."


Here's the setup:

I also have the proper Wire for use with the Wire Nuts. Packard 440
is best and out of production. Check other items from seller link.
