    Although the caps are made for solid wires the use of carbon wires will work IF you cut the wire clean and push it down really good on the pins. Then you got to keep the voltage down to prevent flashing and burning the tips off. Keep plug gap where the factory wanted it and make sure the carb ( or carbs ) are not running lean ( causes high voltage ) ........
    Glad to help....

    I use Mallory wires w/ 2 piece cap and have had no problems. Put on a Mallory Hi Fire ign. last year and no problems.
