    I probably got these pics off of here, I hope that whoever's they are doesn't mind me posting them here.
    I'm totally enamored of these spark plug wires, trying to find where I can purchase them.

    Thanks - Karl

    the hot rod company.com sells these. but they are solid copper core wires that will not work on electronic ignition.

    Karl, it really depends on what kind of electronic ignition. The pertronix folks suggest not using them but we use them with all our igntion stuff with no problem.
    Early electronic systems kinda got a bad rap in the early years.
    We have a hei module kit that we use the solid wires all the time.

    Thanks for the reply Bubba. What types of modern ignition systems have you been using them on with no problems?

    Thanks - Karl

    Hot Rod Factory.......at a July 4th show we must have heard 50 comments about these wires. They seem to be working well with the Petronix conversion distributor.

    i have done a search and so far no results for that cool ass coil..
    do you think he made it?
    like taking apart a standard 12 or 6 volt coil saved the oil and the top cap and made or found some clear glass or plastic cup close in size and made it work?
    hey its dooo-able

    I read that those glass bottle coils were the transition from the buzz boxes to the metal oil filled coils we use today. Must have been an early 20's design?
    Cool, but there must have been a good reason to go to the metal canister.
