I second Alan's comments--first-hand experience.

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.
