Clean, easy, effective! Tech question: In a situation where someone has points but might want to upgrade to electronic in the future can you use the spiral core wire with points or should it always be solid core for points spiral for electronic?
@@HouseofChop great question, you can use a suppression core wire with points for sure. Auto makers started using supression core wire in the late 50s and early 60s as radios became more popular in cars and people wanted less interference. So supression wire can be used with points. The things I would look out for are : use a spiral core wire with low ohms 500/ft or less. As suppression core wire ages the resistance increases. Points don’t like the higher resistance that’s why most points wire sets are copper core which offer almost not resistance at the lengths we are using for spark plugs wires. But on average a suppression core wire set is almost 2x the cost so if you have points take advantage of a more economical wire set and your points will thank You too.
Thanks Rick!!
@@ronnygilmore6558 you are welcome!! This is just how I do some things. There are many different ways to get it done.
