Do I need a solid core plug wire on a 1933 Ford ?

[CrazyBackyardBuilder]

I had a problem with a intermittent running condition on my new to me stock 1933 Ford Model B. I traced it to the coil wire and ordered a correct replacement from a reputable vender waited the week to get it for it not to fit. It was short by 3 inches ( insert joke here ), So I was going to just made one from a standard Carbon core plug wire to get the car running .



I know this sounds a little weird, but you just cant use any coil wire the coil is mounted under the dash on a Model B 4 cylinder. This makes the coil wire a little over 2 feet long.


Will a carbon core wire work, does it need the solid core wire to conduct the 6V better ?
