Where can I get this inductive wire? Are you talking about power and input/output wiring, or plug wires?

UPDATE:



I have a few leaks that I am fighting with...I have an oil leak coming from, I believe, the bottom of my oil filter pedestal adapter. I have used new orings, and RTV on it, and it still leaks. I had this problem last time I first put the motor in, but I fixed it by adding the RTV. This time I used RTV when I reinstalled it, but this leak is much bigger than the last.



I have a slow drip leak coming from somewhere on the upper part of the radiator...This really upsets me because this KOYO is brand new...only about 800 miles on it. It drips slowly down the front length of the radiator through the fins and ends up puddling on the bottom near the lower hose neck, and then drips onto the floor. It worked perfectly before, so its boggling to me how it ended up with a hole in it, unless a rock or object flew up underneath the car and smacked it, but would seem crazy for something to bounce up so high into a tight space. This would also explain the compromise in my cooling systems pressure, causing the overflow tank to be constantly filled up, and not pulling coolant back into the system when it cools. Anyone know the warranty on a KOYO. I've had it for over a year, but it hasn't been used for very long.



Also have a tranny fluid leak. I am assuming that it is either one of the front or rear seals. It only leaks when the motor is running, and its a steady drip. I took a look at the tranny and cant locate a visible place fort the leak anywhere. Does anyone else have RTV being squeezed out from the crack near the rear of the tranny casing? I'm talking about the case that sits just behind the main casing where you fill the tranny with fluid. I might have to get a picture to explain this better, but I didnt think factory trannys had RTV on them.



I purchased 2 more NGK 10.5's, so I'll be running them in all 4 holes when on high boost with race gas. I'm thinking that I want to beef up the ignition system because I don't want spark to be a problem. I already have the 6AL, and I'm assuming that I have to get 2 more units for the trailings (1 on each coil). Are the stock coils really good enough, or should I upgrade to LS1 coils or something similar? I know they can support the higher HP, but I want it to be a reliable support from here on out.

Secondary, High tension, Spark plug wire. Big hot rod shops sell it by the foot , MSD, and other name

brands have it as an option. A must where two way radios are in use.

So I take it that the NGK Wires are solid conductor wires?

Lynn E. Hanover

I have no idea what NGK wire is. Check with the MSD people to see if your coils are OK to use with the 6AL.



The MSD will be puting 350 volts into the coil primary instead of 12 volts. Some coils will not take that for very long. Coils with internal resistors cannot be used. Look on the MSD site for the list of usable coils.

Ok, thanks! I will check on the NGK wires. As of right now, I'm just using stock TII coils. I'll see what I can find.

the factory uses a grey silicon (8527-77-739) to seal things up. they must have a tool or applicator, because they get a good seal without using a ton of it

Here is a description on the NGK Wire sets from their website:



When a spark plug fires, it creates a great deal of radio frequency interference (RFI) and electromagnetic interference (EMI). Uncontrolled, this can show up as static in the radio or other electronic devices, or much more seriously, in electronic ignitions, fuel injection, and engine management systems. This interference with EFI and engine management systems can cause "cross talk" between wiring harnesses resulting in poor running, misfiring and decreased performance.



NGK Resistor Spark Plug Wire Sets utilize a construction method known as "variable pitch" wire winding to create resistance to radio frequency interference. The variable pitch winding (loose/tight/loose) provides suppression throughout a very wide range by "scrambling" and breaking up the electrical waves radiated by the firing of the spark plugs.



CONSTRUCTION



A ferrite magnetic layer consisting of a mixture of rubber, plastic and powdered ferrite magnetic materials, offers uniform resistance and unsurpassed conductivity. NGK wires have a lower resistance than conventional carbon core wires (8k ohm/meter vs. 16k ohm/meter). This comparison is important to remember when you consider that many manufacturers recommend wires be replaced when the resistance exceeds 20k ohm/meter. This does not leave much margin for wear when the wire may only meet original standards at the very early stages of its life.



At the center of NGK Resistor Spark Plug Wire Sets is a fiberglass stranded core, made from the same family of materials used in bullet proof vests. This core greatly enhances the overall strength of the wire, providing a super strength backbone on which the various layers of the wire assembly are formed. The core gives protection from damage caused by the pulling strains that wires are often subjected to and that can destroy their performance.



High quality EPDM and Silicone coverings are used to resist high heat, oil and chemical damage for increased durability.



Custom designed terminal boots are always used to provide exact fit (not universal fit like other major wire manufacturers). Each NGK ignition wire is fitted with a positive locking, corrosion resistant Stainless Steel terminal end for tight fit and maximum resistance to vibration and separation.



NGK Wire Sets are numbered for easy cylinder identification and coil wires are color coded for correct and easy installation.

Well that makes me feel a little better then...I was hoping that my tranny hadn't been cracked open before by some shoddy shop. I didnt think the leak was coming from that part of the tranny to begin with...I just wanted to rule that out of the list of possibilities.



I wonder if we could find out if they used an applicator or tool? It would be a nice piece to have for using silicon sealers.

Comitatus

So it looks as if the NGK wires are NOT solid conductor wires. They use a "variable pitch" wound center. The insulation might not be as thick as an 8 or 10mm wire...but insulation might be overrated in my book, ie MSD 8.5 super conductor wires being suspect to arcing.



Now, to find out if they and the stock coils can handle the 6AL.
