[Mgs] Ignition wires

[Barrie Robinson]

You see the same gobbledegook with audio & TV.  Some people pay 
hundreds for those TV wires when cheap Walmart stuff is just as good 
- even coat hangers will do !!!  If one understands electricity then 
one should be alright.  My local "mechanic" told me that my ignition 
wires were "leaking" and I needed to spend $150 on new ones.  So I 
fired my MGB up in the dark and looked for sparks - not a one 
!!!!   No EMF either.  So I did not change my wires - even for much 
cheaper ones.
