RE: [Chrysler300] Ignition Cables - Pertronix - What about plug wires?

["David Schwandt" <finsruskw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

At least have the correct stuff available even if it's only the cable,
terminal and boots in bulk 
If storing, cutting and shipping is a problem, I'll even volunteer to do it.

Why could a top flight club like ours have a store with everything 300 made
properly for club members. I feel certain many have paid more for an item
they needed that they could not use (for one reason or another.) Than
consider the cost wasted; it would really cost less in most cases to get
proper "authorized and or certified 300 stuff" 


There is another club with a similar moniker which boasts 90% of their cars
which were made, are still running on the roads. (hay not necessarily better
car but due to this they have clout. (Oh! b-t-w I am not referring to 5-6-7
chv's.) I have been told by owners that when the requests for parts (to the
club) reach 50 units the club will create or have manufactured 100 units of
the part because they know that 50 pay for it and there will probably be 100
(50 more) that will want it. It is not bad for the club to make some money
on this. It just leads to more and better things. 


If I am wrong about this please let me know. Just seems like a good idea and
a vivid and strong club we have, Chrysler 300!

I have been in contact with Alex Conger from Pertronix, Inc. for nearly a
month now regarding new plug wires to go with the Pertronix Ignitor for my
300C. He told me specifically that the original (or new) wire-core cables
were too low resistance and could damage the Pertronix unit. He suggested
that Pertronix could supply a pretty much universal "stock look" kit using
7mm black spiral-wound wires. However, those cables already had fused-on
boots at both the distributor and plug ends, which of course would NOT work
with the long insulated plug end connectors on my 392 hemi. Not only that,
but there was no way of knowing if the wires would be long enough for me to
cut up his set and put on my own connectors and boots. I asked if Pertronix
could make up a plug wire set if I sent them my old wires -- Alex said they
get their wires pre-made and have no way to make a custom set. I then asked
if he could tell me the supplier for the Pertronix wire sets, and although
he didn't know exactly, he did suggest three sources. 

So, earlier this week I went to Kingsborne Wire Werks kingsbornewires.com
and immediately found the correct black silicone 7mm spiral-wound wire I was
looking for. $31.25 for a 25-foot roll. Kingsborne also had the crimp
terminals I would need, as well as plug wire separators, wire markers for
cylinder numbering, etc. It was easy to order the parts through their
on-line shopping cart. The wires are not yet in hand, but it will be a
simple job to make up a new set using my original wires as a guide -- even
down to the red distributor boot for #1 cylinder from Gary Goers!
