Technical Spark plug wire choice for my flathead V8, suppression or solid core?

Hi all,
Searching hasn't turned up anything firm. '46 flathead V8 in my model A. Has some drivability issues and found three bad plug wires (resistor type wires), and they are not that old.
So, should I got with a solid core wire since the only tunes I listen to are the headers rumbling down the road or a better set of the suppression wires?
Input please, the motor is stock except the dual 94's and headers.
Thanks,
Cliff Ramsdell

 

Personally I prefer solid core wires. Packard 440 wires were the first performance tip I used in 1964. Too old to change now.

 

What Tommy said. Contact Rhode Island Wire. They have what you need.

 

and you'll drive people nuts at the stoplight trying to figure out what that interference is on their radios!

 

That's part of the charm.

 

I'm runnin 8mm Taylors. Available in different colors as well.

 

And every other piece of electronics?

 

Nothing better to screw up those cars you can hear 2 blocks away.

 

The type of wire depends on the type of igntion sysyem your running. The stock flathead six volt system will not work well with resistor type wires. If your running a 12 volt igntion system solid core wires should work if you have single or dual pointsin your dizzy. But some igntion systems like Pertronix require resistor type wires. So the choice actually depends on whats in your distributer if you use 12 volts.

 

I run solid core and they work great

 

The motor runs the stock dual point distributor. When I did the car it's 12 volts. I run a ballast resistor on the positive side of the coil and a wire from the "I" terminal on the starter relay to the hot side of the coil for battery voltage when cranking. Voltage at the coil when the car is running is around 8.5 volts give or take.

Based on the reply's i have gotten I'll pick up a set of solid wires and be done with that issue for good.

Thanks to all.
