Difference in ohm rating on plug wires?

I think the lesson here is that if I have have a car with a lot of modern electrics, then I should be concerned about what wires I am running. If not, then I can run solid core wires or equivalent without fear. My cars have always been simple ones running solid core with no RF problems.



Nope. There are virtually zero (I say virtually because I don't know every ignition system out there) electronic ignitions that will tolerate solid core wires. I first tried it in 1980 and it was a nightmare.

The ONLY ignition I KNOW for a FACT that uses solid core wires and must use them is a convention magneto. The MSD mags use a suppression wire. I can tell you solid wires on an MSD mag is a disaster.
