Tim,
I'm very tempted to say FIIK....... so I will ..........FIIK!
I am repeating what was told to me by a "reliable source"
who made some specific requests for a particular type and brand of
ignition wire. Some of his customers were having issues timing their
cars with a particular style of timing light.
I've had some similar experience.
Find an engineer and ask them! LOL
