Water wires

Did you guys know that you can use clear tubes with water in them, connect them to the coil and then the spark plug works good.

Water wires

I don't quite understand what exactly water wires would do or how it would work. Can you explain a little more?

Pure water is a terrible conductor. Its the impurities in water that allow it to conduct. But anyhow i think i'll stick with regular wires.

Water wires

Distilled water does not conduct electricity at all. Spring water barely does and tap water will somewhat. Water itself does not conduct electricity, it's the minerals inside of the water that conduct the electricity.

No they won't work better. They will be burdened with not working, leaking, and spark loss through the walls. Stick with silicone jacket spark plug wires.

I know its a trip you put like cool laid in the wires and squeez them on the end of the plugs and you see the spark shooting through the water or kool laid
