Since we're on this subject I'll ask a few questions...
Aren't the original wires a solid core like a marine spark plug wire ??? If so you'll be adding a huge amount of resistance to the system using a standard automotive carbon,spiral core wire..
On the marine wires...I was told other than getting brittle and the insulator cracking/or the core getting broke, the wires themselves never go bad.....
Is there anything to be gained by using a different set of wires ??
After reading what chuck went through to get a different set{which will never be as weather resistant as the originals} is it really worth the hassle of doing it ??

Not arguing, just trying to understand why the switch when it seems much simpler the get a replacement plug or wire....
