Ques about ign wires
« on: January 18, 2012, 03:57:23 PM »
In a bind I had to buy a set of higher end silicone ignition wires for a 383 stroker in a firebird I used to have - I only needed one wire out of the set and got stuck with the rest,  so what I am wondering, is there any reason I couldn't just use the appropriate length wires out of the V8 set on my 4 cyl 2.5 jeep motor instead of buying new ones ?

Thanks, sorry if that is a dumb question

Nike sells gumboots now!  Of course they'll fit.

Tow straps are on sale.

Should have been more clear but my concern is not physically fitting them in, but whether the excessive RF interference generated from a low resistence wire will cause problems with my fuel injection / radio / cb / gps /etc etc - I already get some RF interference with a RF surpressor on the stereo and CB - I'll just try it out and see what happens
