Solid copper wire are mentioned in the Pertronix instruction as being potentially deadly to the module.

Some how, on looking at Terry's modern ignition wires, I suspect that they are the modern 8mm carbon fiber of today.

I was using a set of carbon wire from the 50s when I installed my Pertronix and had to upgrade to a 7mm modern black set up as I was getting shocks whenever I handled the old NOS wires......that Pertronix high voltage 40 thou coil sure puts out a hot spark. Once I regapped the plugs it ran noticeably better.

I lucked out years ago, when plugs were still cheap on Ebay, and acquired a lifetime supply of various NOS AC plugs in assorted heat range.... now they advertise the same plugs as fitting early Corvettes and increased the price accordingly.
