Re: 327 sputtering under acceleration

Today after getting my OD working I robbed the plug wires from the Buick engine in my garage just to see what would happen.. I idles a little smoother, but still is very choppy under acceleration. Has anybody noticed any difference running modern suppression-type silicone core wires versus solid copper core? Maybe I should make a trip down to SoCal Speed Shop this weekend and pick up some nice wires... they even have the old Rajah connectors.... I'll clean up the points tomorrow too. I replace the whole ignition system (points, condenser, cap, rotor, coil, plugs, NOS solid core wires) when I first got the car on the road three years ago, and swapped everything over to the motor thats in it now. Theres maybe 5,000 miles on the ignition, maybe more.. Not enough time in a day though, off to school I go! I'll post back with results after giving everything a once-over tomorrow.
