[Mobile-Portable] Spark Plug Wires

Mon, 28 Jul 2003 16:39:09 -0600

The resistor spark plug wires are supposed to suppress ignition 
noise.  Some cars have resistor plugs for the same purpose.  At one 
point I had resistor plugs and wires, but the tuneup became pretty 
critical, I think I had to put in new points every 6000 miles or so. 
I probably would not recommend resistor wires and plugs at the same 
time, unless the auto manufacturer recommends it.

I use tubular braid slipped over the wires and grounded to suppress 
ignition noise.  Works pretty well
