The Ford Barn - View Single Post - break-up at WOT

Had similar problems. Replaced spiral wound ignition wires with solid copper and reset spark plug gap from 0.035 to 0.025". That cured the high rpm breakup, but the lack of static suppression in copper wires completely jammed my radio. So, I went back to a short spiral wound wire only for coil to distributor. That got the radio back and it still revs smoothly to near 5,000 rpm.
