8mm Spark Plug Wires?
Can the subject wires be used in a stock 1946 59AB distributor? I need to order a set of suppression plug wires and 8mm's seem to be plentiful.

Re: 8mm Spark Plug Wires?
Thank you. That is exactly the information I was looking for and the order has been placed.
As a side note, I put a Pertronix Ignitor in my stock '46 Ford distributor and the car won't stay running due to the EMF interference caused by the solid core wires. So I'm told. I do know that the EMF raises hell with my VOM when it is anywhere close to the running engine. Dale |

Re: 8mm Spark Plug Wires?
Pertronix also sells a quality 7mm wire set that I use on two flatheads.
7MM “Stock-Look” Plug Wires Now you can get a "stock-look" spark plug wire, that performs! We've designed these wires with the same core that we use in our 8mm wire. The only real difference is the 7mm flat black silicone jacket that hides its performance potential from the naked eye. Get the best of both worlds with "state-of-the-art performance and a stock look." These wires will fit most original wire looms. Select a custom tailored set for a great out of the box fit or a universal kit to match your unique engine and wire loom configuration. Features
Universal 7mm “Stock-Look” spark plug wire kits featuring 90° or straight spark plug boots. Each universal set includes terminals to fit both male and female terminal distributor caps. |

Re: 8mm Spark Plug Wires?
I believe you are absolutely correct about that. I was told by the Tech. at Pertronix to send the unit back if the engine won't continue to run after replacing the wires and they will replace it. Can't beat that. OBTW, replacing wires in a stock '46 is not a particularly fun job.

Re: 8mm Spark Plug Wires?
Does anyone know if this kit comes with the coil wire? I was looking at the amazon listing and it only shows 8 wires.

Re: 8mm Spark Plug Wires?
I also use the Pertronix 7mm stock look wires along with the crab/Pertronix ignition- very pleased with this set up.
