Re: Plug wires '59 Sea Horse
No, you must not use automotive 'supressor' wires. You must use a 7mm plug wire (so it will fit the ignition coil) that has a copper metal core. You will also have to 'make' the set but that just means putting a couple spark plug ends on. <br />A marine dealer should have wire by the foot and boots. Also a lawn mower repair outfit should have it. Some automotive supply places will have it too.<br />The slight (~1k ohm) resistance of the supressor wire is too much for the old magneto ignition system. Using it can cause mid-throttle misfires and hard starting. Plus it degrades in time, unlike solid metal core wire.
