I'm a shameless hussie

I shamelessly used Gastricks idea with the lacquered cloth plug wires on my wifes 48. I had replaced the old wires with yellow 8mm Taylor wires. They just didn't look right but I didn't know of any alternative until Gastrick was kind enough to share what he had done.

I ordered up 10' of 7mm wire and fixin's. Got them on last night. They look much better.

Now here's the kicker. The car runs much better, idles smoother and shifts smoother. At first that might sound ridiculous but these cars have vacuum shifters.
So with the engine running smoother there must by more vacuum available.

Thanks Gastrick

Looks smooth.

I don't think Gastrick will mind at all.

Nah, the engine was just embarrassed to wear those yellow ones, so it was rebelling. New ones look great. I liked them on Gastricks too, very oldtimey looking.

I have a brand new set of yellow ones sitting on the shelf that I will only put on something like my Jeep that has a closed hood.

Those look great on that engine cycledog. I like them. I'm glad to be of some use. I like that decal on your coil too.
