Before I knew better, I ran my clipper for one season with packard 440 solid core wires and pertronix 12 volt in my delco distributor. The plugs were resistor plugs, and the car ran fine. I now have resistor wires (from summit -that also say packard on them), but haven't run the car yet. So, I don't think it is a sudden death thing combining the solid core wires and pertronix, but it isn't good in the long run.
I mean all electronic stuff that is made has to be somewhat resistant to interference from external sources, such as heated driveways, overhead wires, cell phones or whatever. But in the long run, resistor wires would be safer.
