7mm Hypalon Plug wire
I have a partial role of this wire (about 60 feet). Thinking of using it on a flathead with crab ignition 12 volt. What are best spark plug ends to use?

Re: 7mm Hypalon Plug wire
I like Raja clips, but no where near original.

Re: 7mm Hypalon Plug wire
There's an outfit called "The Brillman Company" that carries the "Rajah" ends and a lot of other stuff (including Packard 440 wire). If you can sift through the tractor stuff, they should have everything you will need.

Re: 7mm Hypalon Plug wire
For me, "original" is a 50's hot rod, for which Raja is the preferred part.
60 feet of wire should do two crab ignitions, with a little to spare. |

Re: 7mm Hypalon Plug wire
On my '35's, I like to use the original tin plated brass clips that solder on the distributor cap end of the plug wire and have the cylinder numbers stamped into each clip. I use Packard 440 plug wire but not sure if it's 7 or 8mm in diameter. For the plug end terminals I use either the original brass or copper tube ends formed into a hook configuation, crimp on brass ring terminals, or the Raga ends. I've never liked the modern terminal ends that are formed on the ends of the wire and have little barbed features that attempt to pierce the insulation and supposedly make contact with the internal conductor. Must of these that I have seen on distributors that I buy to rebuild are totally junk. I also prefer using copper core wire.

Re: 7mm Hypalon Plug wire
The best way to roll through Brillman's products is get there catalog, because unless they updated their web site, which they said they were going to do, it very tedious trying to find what you want. They have it spades, and good folks to deal with. I specify, please ship USPS parcel post, as most parts a pretty light. Otherwise they send it Priority mail for more bucks
