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

[retromobilia@xxxxxxxxxxx]

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!
