Thanks sarge. I already have the iridium coils from last year, and agree they made a noticeable difference when I put them in.

I'll update this thread when I get the new boots and wires in. I picked them up today. Wires I got were definitely copper.

What do you mean by carbon wires? I must be missing something, because carbon doesn't conduct in any meaningful way.

Only three things are required:  spark, fuel, and air -- in the correct proportions, of course.  If your wires, and boots, are questionable, start with them.

Wires should be copper, not carbon (available on e-Bay, if your local auto shops don't stock the ol' reliable Packard carbon wires).  If you are concerned with RFI, then try using Iridium plugs from NGK:  they're resistive, but they still require less voltage to create a spark.  They fire like you have new, modern coils installed.  Let us know what you find.  Cheers!
