How to avoid EM interferance
I've been running the trigger wires (green and purple) from my MSD 6A to the distributer along side some power wires and have read that this is not a great idea as electrical interferance can possibly cause misfires.
Granted, I've had this setup for a while without issue but I was wondering if there is anything I could wrap the wires in to reduce the possibility of any interferance.

WRAP PARTY
You can wrap them in shielding, then ground the shielding on either end.
Happy Racing!
If People Drove Any Slower They’d Be Going BackwardsFog lights are not driving lights. They look dorky. Turn em off slow pokes.
How bout those dorks too scared to drive without headlights on in the daytime!

Re: WRAP PARTY
Thanks Nina.
What sort of shielding? Would heat wrap be conductive enough?

WRAP PARTY
Heat wrap is non-conductive.
You need to use braided metal.
It looks like a flat wire rope, comes in many widths.
A good electronics parts store will have some.

Re: WRAP PARTY
Thanks, there's an electronics place not too far. I'll check it out.
