Geez man, if you have your TR tuned with such precision that the length of the
wire makes a difference in quality of performance, I bow deeply at your feet.

Subject: [TR] Wire Length

I have a set of nearly solid core ignition wires left over from a V-8 plow
truck long-dead-and-gone. Since I'm currently messing with the ignition system
anyway, my plan is to cut them down and use them to replace the ones in the
TR3.
Just curious: How sensitive is it necessary to be when chopping ignition wires
to length? On one hand, making a stock short wire shorter, and a long wire
longer, would affect the timing by delivering spark sooner and later
respectively. On the other hand, the electrical pulse would seem to be so
fast, it wouldn't matter.
Which is right?
(I'm on vacation and obviously have too much time on my hands.)
