Keith, thanks for your reply. Also thanks to Richard Ceraldi and Chris
Lillja for their suggestions. I am planning on getting a set of the
bumble-bee wires made up to go along with the sport coil and pertronix.
I could be facing plug replacement to resistor plugs if the radio
reception suffers with the solid wires but that is no biggie.
Thanks again!
