A lot has been discussed about what ignition wires to install. Myself and others have recommended Beldon in earlier posts. Today, after my fuel unit rebuild that I performed with the help of Jim Lockwood, I put the engine on my scope.
At idle the ignition system is using between 20 and 25K to fire the spark plugs, that leaves very little in reserve for power.
I checked a coil wire and a spark plug wire against Beldon of the similar length.

Belden produced some very high quality products for sure. Standard ignition bought out the Belden company from Federal-Mogul about 20 years ago. Not sure if the quality is the same today, I hope it is. The Ohm test sure makes them look great. What I liked is the wires worked good but they were also tough. Held up well in the long term.
