After I did my Pertronix, I installed a Pertronix coil and new bumblebee
wires. Works like a charm.

Subject: [Healeys] Pertronix ignition, wires and coil choice?
Fellow Healeyoids,
Having successfully completed the alternator and negative ground
conversion, I'm now in search of a more reliable ignition system. I want to
get a Pertronix system but what coil choice should I choose. I no longer
have a stock coil, it has long since died. Should I get a Pertronix coil or
a fancier looking Lucas Sport coil? The Lucas Sport coil puts out 40,000
volts and from reading old posts it seems that such a large voltage might be
a detriment as arcing can occur. I'm guessing that the Pertronix coil
produces the same intensity of voltage.
Also, what about ignition wires? Should I go with copper wires or the
filament type. I do plan on putting a radio in but will most likely just
use the amp of the radio for my I-Pod. Will static from copper wires be an
issue with the radio? Could I just put resistor caps on the wires? Thanks!
