Toby,
If I understand you correctly, yes you should have replaced it with the same
type of wire according to what I have read.
I have a blurb about it somewhere in a newsletter from Obsolete Automotive.
( www.obsoleteauto.com ). I know that you can get them there. They must be
available from other sources also.
