[Healeys] New Plug Wires makes the car GO!

[Don Anglesey]

I also use the solid core wires but have to change back to the old carbon
core to tune it because of the interference on my dwell and tach meter.  I
was surprised by just how much interference they put out.  The only carbon
core wire I have had go out was too close to the header.  I use Taylor wires
and both kinds are quality made so if you use any type of electronics in the
car I would suggest using the shielded core wire.  For performance solid
core is the way to get the most spark.

Finally, after years of putting up with engine misses above 3000 rpm,
I've installed new plug wires--
metal core, with NGK plug caps.
Currently using NGK plugs in the Denis Welch head.
I've heard many times that the graphite core wire breaks down,
etc--maybe that is true.
Still using the threaded distributor cap and coil.  Thanks to Randy at
British Heritage Motorsports for the advice.
