Julius hopefully your new plug wires are of the modern ( not solid wire) silicon type.

Couldn't agree more, 47+ yrs driving it definitely 1 of the better from the factory balanced engines that loves & demands to be driven

We Thank You there's a sweet spot between sewing machine sound & proper adjustments not too tight/loose that produces results!

I installed a electronic ignition while using copper core spark plug wires and my electronic ignition unit died about 250 miles from home. Later heard via forum chats that electronic ignition units are not compatible with metal wire ( copper) plug wires.

Running pertronix electronic ignition with 3 ohm flamethrower coil since the mid 80s with either aforementioned wires without any issues other than magnets in circular pattern falling out on 1st production units, current issues flawless, keep the removed 1 in the boot as back up
