Installing carbon ignition wires in your classic sports car, Austin-Healey,
Jaguar, MG, Triumph, etc. are the worst you can do anyway. They are prone to
fail after some period of time and cause intermittent interruptions. The engine
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.
Cheers,
