[Healeys] another pertronix question

[simon.lachlan at alexarevel.plus.com]

I ran mine with side cap and bumblebees. No suppressors. No problems.

I'm pretty sure that "they say" that graphite core wires don't do well in
the old Lucases. The screws dig into the graphite and time/vibration abrades
the graphite and thus the contact. Anyhow, I stuck with bumblebees on that
advice.

Ira, the pertronix unit fits on the stock base plate in the distributor. You
can use the same cap. They recommend graphite core wires, although I ran
solid core wires with mine for several years and never had a problem.

If I get the adaptor kit will I need to change the cap and wires?

I am using the side style cap and bumble bee wires. Will I need to use
suppressor carbon wires?

Thanks all.

 Hope to meet many of you at Conclave.
