RE: Smallest CM-6 spark plug boot
Ralph,
Simply wrapping a plug wire with braided shielding to compensate for a non resistor plug, similar to the shielding on the current RC Exl products, will leave the user pretty unhappy. We both know that. The old CH ignitions using the braided strap were done quite differently that what is seen today. You still have the pervasive issue of people failing to connect the other end to a real ground instead of an engine mount screw. Even then, the vast majority of those were used on resistor plugs.
I certainly don't want to be the one to get some guys hopes up by telling him he could just wrap the plug wire and can with braided cables and send him on his soon to be less than merry way using a non resistor plug. Your point about covering and securing a braided cover does indeed work when done correctly, but what are the odds the neophyte will do it correctly?
