Flathead Ignition Wires
I have a 255 flathead with a Chrysler electronic ignition. What would the best ignition wire be to use for maximum spark. Does anyone use solid core wire with their electronic ignitions?

Thanks

Most electronic ignitions are designed for resistance wire. There's really no downside to them, unless you get ham-handed with the boots and stretch the inner core.
