The ignition box trigger wire is tiny so it wouldn't be able to carry much anyway.

I have the whole deal - in-tank pump, Hyperspark distributor, Hyperspark ignition box, "Sniper" TFI type coil and even the Holley gauges. I did re-wire the entire car though and it has a modern blade type fuse box. The fuel pump and headlights are on relays. Parts store mini starter, new ignition switch. I doubt the Sniper stuff would work too well with 52 year old factory original wiring.

I will say that there is not much else in my car that requires a lot of current - no electric fan, no A/C, no stereo or what have you but either way, it starts first try every time and has not had any observable electrical issues thus far.



He brings up a good point. The ONLY stuff on my car that uses factory wiring is the lights and wipers, everything else is fresh wiring.


Mine too.
