Chad,

I"d get a wire with stranded copper wire core --

You surely can"t need the radio frquency supression, so why use higher resistance whire.

Resistive leads (carbon fibre) would work just as well (better from interference point of view). Depends really whether you want it like original. I have magneto-powered sparks on my tractors, so they must have the copper cored leads without suppressor plug caps. Coil systems are more "forgiving" as long as an electronic system is not installed - as these units will often have so much spark energy that they will destroy the carbon fibre leads in short time.

I guess you're right, RAB, the interferance from metal-core wires would probably screw up the GPS steering on that old '52 "B".

Hi Bob,
Over this side of the pond all the TVs in the street probably start flickering when a mate of mine chugs up the road with his Standard Fordson, with his metal plug wires AND shirt buttons in his plug leads as "helpers" to prevent plug fouling.
In the US I guess you are all so far away from your nearest neighbour you need a GPS to find yourself when you get lost in one of your fields!
I personally prefer the copper leads as "near original" - as long as they are not bright blue or something like that.
Regards, RAB

Solid copper core wires are generally recommended for this older stuff. Your local Deere dealer can probably help you, or Brillman, on the 'net.
