Need help finding plug wire set for a BBF
« on: May 28, 2009, 09:37:08 AM »
I am trying to find a plug wire set for a BBF with a Prestolite Dizzy.  Right now, it has motorcraft wires on it but one is cracked and they haven't been replaced in a long while.  Funds are an issue, so I'm looking for a decent set for a decent price...  Specific part number would help as well...  recommendations???

I am also putting in a Pertronix elect conversion.  Do I need to change the plug gap?  Learning as I go...

Taco'd "a person or people that show up with one lake lice and a family of 50 and cram 3 people at a time on it with no disregard to boating rules or ethics. Usualy crap in toilets and throw shit paper in trash cans. Hang out at the boat ramp like its a swimming hole. Have zero insurance on anything they own and dont give two shits less about your property."

Thanks... I will get some this weekend... do you have to have a special crimping tool for the wires???

Any recommendation on the plug gap?

The Pertronix doesn't require a gap change. 

I don't have my ignition reference book handy, but I think I remember Ford setting the gap at .032

The problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

I have a set of Accel wires I used for one season...  I'll sell them for 50% of Summit's price plus shipping.  I think I even still have the box they came in ;)

Are you running OT's or TT's? I ran mine underneath for my OT's, and just bought the bulk Mallory Wire and the ends from Summit. (Ended up with about 4 feet left over, but OK. ) With TT's, should be able to use anything off the shelf.

Thanks for all the info/help... picked up a set of yellow accel wires on Sat while driving to LA.  Get the pertronix on Tuesday and then install everything.  Gonna do an El Cap run on Saturday to make sure everything is good for Parker on the 12th....
