curious------ distributor spark question anyone running a modern distributor cap and wires ever notice that the original wire connectors and original cap seem to put out a hotter spark at the plugs ?

Re: curious------ distributor spark question Yes, original Ford parts work great.

Re: curious------ distributor spark question There are two mechanisms of loss in the high tension plug wires (straps). One is resistance and the other is radio frequency radiation. With solid conductors, like a solid wire or the straps, you can detect the radio frequency radiation with an AM radio or other electronic device. The resistance losses are very low because of the high voltage and low current. Modern wires (modern meaning 1950-60) have a carbon core conductor which reduce the radio frequency radiation by adding some resistance. I doubt that you will be able to tell much difference between modern wires and the straps because the straps are so short, but in theory there would be a difference. To improve performance while keeping the stock look of the straps, use a modern carbon core high tension wire from the coil to the distributor cap.

Re: curious------ distributor spark question Eventually some come to the obvious conclusion that those who designed and assembled the original Model A's were talented geniuses who didn't need our help.

Re: curious------ distributor spark question Still have a T. I. SR-10. The battery is dead.

Re: curious------ distributor spark question It may be because of resistor type plug wires. Try a set of solid copper wire plug wires and see if it changes.
