|
As I recall, it was back in the Yak Pilot Club days that Marcus Bates and a few other guys in Texas started using RFI/EFI noise suppressing auto wire and motorcycle spark plug. Dennis made kits up and sold them using 8mm Taylor wire. I used on of his kits on my first M-14p installation, modified with a Delrin end plate of my own manufacture, and I switched to NGK spark plugs.
Since then, I have used the Red MSD 8.5mm wire with a larger core wire than the Taylor 8mm, with a gray boot and an aluminum end plate. This is what I use for the electronic magneto conversion. For flat engine conversions, I use the Red "Pro Boot" due to higher heat for the top plugs under fiberglass cowls. This is what LightSpeed does.
In all circumstances, careful installation is a must to insure good connections. The results are easier starting and smoother running.
