You have very good wires. Shame they are burnt.
I like the cut to fit MSD wires.
I use NGK XR5 plugs and have had good service with them.
@Budnicks
The NGK brand plugs with the fine diameter electrode made of
?platinum? IIRC have always "looked" impressive to me, but I've ran Autolites because both Don at FBO Ignition and my local builder know how to "read" those easily and they are 2 of the people I would contact if/when I need plugs read. With my AFR O2 system, reading plugs may never be so in demand, freeing me up to try other brands...
Quick question so as to not hijack.
I have cut to fit silicone wires installed now, and I left "extra" length to re-cut them once I selected a wire management "system".
For those who have used a distributor cap with "male" terminals:
1: Am I right in perceiving the overall diameter of that section of the cap itself as smaller than the same cap that has female sockets for the plug wires?
2: Is that (male cap wire terminals) a more secure way to connect the end of the plug wires?
I believe that Progression Ignition (what I'm switching to from my
flawlessly performing FBO system) is about to release a new design smaller diameter (possibly smaller overall) distributor and cap, and they should resolve the
occasional issue with some combinations of valve covers, heads, and engines that have required "clearancing" (the nicer sounding word for "
grinding off").
So, what is the most secure, male cap terminals or female?
Here are 2 MOPAR generic examples:
Looking at these 2, the male terminals cap is visibly a bit smaller in diameter overall:
