[Healeys] Ignition wires

[David Nock British Car Specialists]

Yes for the Pertronix to work correctly you should not use solid core wires.
This is where the problem is. You can not use carbon wires in the OE style
distributor cap. You need to get a new cap that will accept a push in plug
wire.

There is not a cap available for early style Healey distributor cap. For the
later style distributor you can install a TR 6 cap which you can now get the
correct carbon wires.

If you can't find locally give me a call on Monday and we can supply what you
need.
