Used them MANY years ago, but I'm sure they are not the same as the ones now, they were made with real wire conductor back then! came on a spool you cut to length and added boots and crimp on terminals. Of course we only had AM monaural radios back then so radio interference wasn't a big deal...

The flattie guys round here are using the Monster cable from best buy. It comes in clear vinyl jacketet copper. A resistor is used on some that I have seen.

I've used the 7MM clear red ones sold by the hotrod shops on my flathead. Couldn't keep them from crossfiring between cylinders 1/2 and 6/8. Finally scrapped them for a quality set of regular wires. Not as 'cool' but work 100% better than the clear ones. I won't use them again.
