Just go to the local parts house and get a piece of bulk carbon plug wire and a
crimp on plug end terminal. Then it can be installed into the cap temporarily
when you are setting the timing.

I have the same problem with checking, nice to see there is a solution.
Just to be 100% sure, which carbon wire should I buy, what car does it come
from?

The carbon wire will not last if you leave it there
. However if you I stall one temporarily to set the timing and the replace it
with the copper wire.

Joesf,
I wasn't planning to change to carbon ignition wires for driving, just for
checking the timing.

bay and the area where the wires run close to the engine, exhaust, etc. are
much too hot.

David,
The instruction manual suggested the same. I wasn't sure how well the
carbon wire would work with the screw style cap. Thanks.

Bob, Make a carbon wire to install when setting the timing on the #1
plug wire. The replace it with the copper core wire to drive the car.
This on the only way I have found to check the timing here in the shop

Listers,
I bought a used Snap On timing light and the instructions state that it
doesn't work with solid copper core spark plug wires. It doesn't. As
the carbon wires don't work well with the screw terminals in the
distributor cap, I was wondering if there was a cap for the DM6A
distributor for push on plug wires.
Cheers,
