8mm Wires for electronic Ignition - 05/09/16 06:38 PM

Hello,

Looking to put electronic Ignition on my 440-6 pack car. For some reason I can't find a set of 8mm wires that are black in color that are for my car? I know this is a stupid question but I'm amazed I cant find them. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Scott

I cant say that I have heard of 8mm wires (dont mean they ain't out there tho!). would there be a problem wiring it with regular adequate gauge wiring & on the ECU pentastar connector one of the wires is black/yellow (to coil neg) and another one is grey/black (to the male terminal on the body half of the zigzag connector for the dist pickup). EDIT opps my bad you are speaking of plug wires (I knew I was missing something!)

Are you running headers? If not I would run a set of 7MM thumbs

My car is completely stock. I bought date coded correct wires for it. Had a problem with them. When returning them I got sent to the company who made the wires. Got talking with them and was told that I CAN'T run them with electronic Ignition because they are to small and not rated for it.

Get a set of Firecore's and you will be very happy! All wires are topnotch and service second to none. I have bought sets for myself and a couple of friends over the years with 100 percent satisfaction. Plus pricing is more than fair for such a nice product.

Their claim is what falls out the south end of a north bound horse.

Stock electronic ignition is no more intense than stock points ignition. Just less stuff to wear and more reliable is all.

Key word is stock. No claims are being made in regards to CD or other aftermarket ignitions.
