Oh no. Not the old graphite core Super Stock wires. I've never seen a plug wire that caused more missfires than those.

Yes, I have heard that too. My build has the 7mm Mallory High Performance Silicone wire with solid wire at its core to transmit all of those ‘trons coming from the coil. :biggthumpup:

Sam, what the heck is going on with those headers?? You had problems before also with the discoloration...

Rich - 1st time I had them coated they turned brown/black on first firing and then flaked off there after. They just were not done at all correctly. Only issue so far with this current coating is a change to yellow and the coating is very strong and apparently durable so far. It is uniform in color although the collectors are still orange. I am good with this at this point - it looks good in person - check it out at MCACN!:laugh:

That's weird they discolored to yellow... Car looks AWESOME!!

Dig the new yeller w/some orange flange - legit Day 2.5!

Sam, I thought the Day-2 plug wires of the day would have been Packard 440, solid core.

Sure - That would work Verne!!!!:3gears: But, I have always liked the muted orange look of the Mallory - provided it is solid core! :cool2:

Thanks, those racing photos were my inspiration for returning the Chevelle to its as-raced configuration. Glad that the OO, Wayne, had the presence of mind to keep all the good stuff from the car’s early life.

I took the car to the exhaust shop and had the Super Scavengers hooked up to the mufflers. It’s a tad quieter now! :tongue:
