I am wondering if anyone has tried to use resistor type sparkplugs with solid core wire & no resistor ends? OR has anyone tried the type of high performance aftermarket wires that have a solid conductor core wrapped internally in a spiral around a fiberglass center core – these type of wires have a relatively low resistance of a few hundred ohms per foot, but are supposed to suppress radio noise (EMI).
On a side note, why is it that the Mercedes ignition systems seem so finicky about the wires? Is it that they produce much more amperage than other systems? ![]() [This message has been edited by RunningTooHot (edited 08-21-2000).] [This message has been edited by RunningTooHot (edited 08-21-2000).] [This message has been edited by RunningTooHot (edited 08-21-2000).] |

All Mercedes wires are solid. Yes, you could use them for a good speaker wire if needed. They then use a resistor end to get the job done for helping stop static interference. The Mercedes ignition system is one of the most reliable I have ever seen. IT is not uncommon for a 300E to have well over 100k for the first distributor cap and rotor. You have to run the right plugs and check the resistor tips with a scope.
