Quality Spark Plug Wires for Farmalls

I know this has been asked before, but a search for "spark plug wires" comes up empty... ?

Regular wires can send static about a mile. Some electrical devices can "hear" the static even further away than that.

Carbon impregnated, or ferromagnetic powder wires also eliminate static, but they are not as reliable in strength, nor as long lasting. These resistor style wires also increase the voltage required to jump the gap at the plug. This can be a good thing as higher spark voltage is usually better.

The truth is that if the plug fires the mixture, its job is done, the flame front in the chamber does the rest. I like to set the plugs .005" wider in gap and use the Magnetic Suppression Wound wires. They are deluxe.

Why don't ya want to build your own? I just did this set fer $5 and 20 minutes time.

Got the fixin's from Car Quest. They told me that nobody, but nobody builds their own anymore. That's why the parts were so darned cheap. :>)

I don't mind building my own, if the materials aren't utter CRAP, like the ones they tried to pawn off on me at the local CaseIH dealer.

I want plug wires with flexible rubber insulation, not the stiff plastic insulation in that kit. I want crimp-on connectors, not those little "pokey thingies" in that kit that bend over at the drop of a hat, and won't poke into the wire for love or money. Dad bought one of these kits for his 400, and we spent many hours cussing and swearing at whoever came up with the idea.

I didn't know that they still made those silly "pokey" kind anymore. Thought they were for carbon filled wires anyway? :>)

Hope ya get 'er figured out.

They didn't have anything in a made up set that wasn't carbon filled and this is what started me down the "build yer own" road in the first place. Even their "universal" sets were carbon filled. Don't work fer tractors.

I think the wire was something like 11 cents a foot fer 7 feet total. Something like that.

Partsman said it was an old spool of wire that had been laying around the store since forever.
