[Healeys] distributor cap

I have the same problem with checking, nice to see there is a solution. 

Just to be 100% sure, which carbon wire should I buy, what car does it come from?

The carbon wire will not last if you leave it there 

. However if you I stall one temporarily to set the timing and the replace it with the copper wire.

Joesf,

I wasn't planning to change to carbon ignition wires for driving, just for checking the timing.

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.

Bob, Make a carbon wire to install when setting the timing on the #1

plug wire. The replace it with the copper core wire to drive the car.

 

This on the only way I have found to check the timing here in the shop

Listers,

 

I bought a used Snap On timing light and the instructions state that it

doesn't work with solid copper core spark plug wires.  It doesn't.  As

the carbon wires don't work well with the screw terminals in the

distributor cap, I was wondering if there was a cap for the DM6A

distributor for push on plug wires.

 

 

Cheers,
