Guys, have you ever fabricated your own ignition cables?

What's the difference between 7mm and 8 mm ignition cable? Will either work on my slant six
For your stock or close to stock ignition system 7mm will be fine. The larger are for race type ignition systems, more insulating ability maybe even bigger conductor.

Be sure you buy resister core wire or don't plan on listening to a radio within 20 feet.
