Some folks seem to feel better if the ends are soldered. Anyway, I use resistor wire that can't be soldered. I also use black rubber heater hose made to look like the original metal looms cuz I don't just like the idea of stuffing high tension lines into a grounded metal tube. If you don't look real close or not real picky, ya really can't tell the wires and looms are not metal. 8^)

Any photos of what your engine (hose wire looms) look like? The electrical storm you see under the hood at night on a lot of cars makes you wonder how the metal wire looms don't short out the spark. Lower peek voltage I would assume compaired to more modern engines.
