Plug Wire question
« on: March 23, 2009 - 01:53:29 PM »
Been busy lately guys, sorry I havent been on much. I was looking at the same MSD wires I got for my Challenger and was gonna get them for the truck. the Truck has points and I notice that in the year selections it only goes back to 1973. Should I be aware of some wierd resistance issue or something or can I run any wires with any ignition system?

Wally,

  The 360 came out in 73, that is why the listing only goes back that far. I can't see why you couldn't use these wires. Do you plan an ignition upgrade in the future?

Anyone else?  :feedback: I want to oreder these asap. I will say that its probably b/c electronic ignition was standard in '73? I think it will be ok but I want to be sure. I dont see what harm it would be to run these with points.  :dunno:

No problem. They're 100% better than the ones that came on the car when it was new. They all had resistor wires back then so the AM radio would work  :lol:

The 360 came out in 71.  I think it's the electronic ignition debut.
