[Healeys] distributor cap

Installing carbon ignition wires in your classic sports car, Austin-Healey, Jaguar, MG, Triumph, etc. are the worst you can do anyway. They are prone to fail after some period of time and cause intermittent interruptions. The engine bay and the area where the wires run close to the engine, exhaust, etc. are much too hot.

David,

The instruction manual suggested the same.  I wasn't sure how well the 
carbon wire would work with the screw style cap.  Thanks.

Cheers,
