best anti-RF ignition wiring TYPE
now this is interesting,
I remember fabricating for my neighbor's '62 Ford a metal can with braided shielded wires to cover his distributor and cables out to the plugs. I no longer knew when he drove out of his driveway by watching the patterns on my TV (UHF). Now for the question. Any one know if these boots, if self-fabricated, are essentially a CYLINDER, grounded by contact with the engine block? On Oct 29, 6:06 pm, wrote: ..

On piston-engined aircraft the plugs, wires, and magneto distributor caps are all metal and are grounded. The shielded cable is grounded at the mag end and the plug end. There's no ignition noise from such a setup. Go he http://www.sacskyranch.com/eng67.htm Dan |

Yes. I made some from conduit that extended about 2" above the plugs. I found it didn't mater whether or not the tops were covered with metal, but I applied a bead of silicone RTV to prevent the sharp edges from cutting through the wire insulation. I slit the bottom of each tube lengthwise to make it easier to press it easier to press around the hex part of the plug. |
