Thanks John,

    I'll order myself a set of those plugs as the price is right.  I did
some research on the different types/styles of sparkplug wires (most of it
is simply market hype).  The company and type wire that I though came
through with the most credibility was Magnecor (their site lays out the hype
of all types pretty well).  Their website is http://www.magnecor.com


  Although they advertise a Universal Set (you cut and put the terminals and
boots on yourself) they really don't encourage people to buy it as they
claim that cutting and putting terminals and boots on the spiral wrap
ignition wires correctly takes some tools and a bit of skill.

They will make you up a custom set quite reasonably (I think).  I got four
wires of specified length and had the sparkplug boots for the leading wires
blue in color while the sparkplug boots for the trailing wires were black in
color.  The coil ends I specified as black as I don't pull that end off once
installed.  The total cost including shipping was$49.61.  You can specify
whether you want the boots on either end either straight or 90 deg (my plugs
were 90deg boots and coils ends were straight)

I specified their 8mm Electrosport 80 Metallic Inductance EMI Suppressed
Conducts.  There are several other wire types (like for straight-out racing,
CDI ignitions etc), but I felt that this one was ideal.

There was no noise on the radio with these wires - but then the old carbon
resistor wires never gave any noise either.  I had 250 hours on the old plug
wires under that hot cowling and just felt with their resistance and the
resistor spark plugs, that it might be contributing to plug fouling.  The
time between fouled sparkplug changes was decreasing.  This may have been an
indication of the carbon core ignition wires deteriorating.

Hope this helps

Ed
