well the spark plug wires i got from summit came today. they are perfectly fine, except they are copper core, BUT BUT BUT...they are RFI suppressed and stainless spiraled around the copper core, so they should work fine with the pertronix and if i ever wanted to switch back over to points. best of both worlds...copper solid core with RFI supression.
they have 90 degree boots on them, which are not original obviously, but neither are the stainless bolts all over the motor now...so idgas. PLUS....they only cost 13 bucks. BAM!
we'll see how well they work when i get it all up and running. if not....then i'll buy the pertronix brand for 55 bucks....that are carbon-impregnated fiberglass center that is spiral-wound with stainless steel alloy. Plus they are the same brand as the eletronic ignition unit.
pictures of the new rotor and showing the box for the new wires. the wires are made by standard as well. the rotor is a perfect match, just doesnt' say delco remy and nobody will ever see it anyways.
the packard wire is the green and the standard is the white, i cannot see a difference in the way they are made except the color...so maybe the Packard wire is just as good all along. i have no clue. take it for what it is, all a bunch of crap, cause i have no real clue if i know what i'm talking about.
