I have had a Pertronix II ignitor and Flame Thrower coil installed in my 77 FJ40 for ten years or so - no problems. I figured it was time to rejuvenate the ol' 2F and bought plugs, cap and rotor. I was about to buy the NGK plug wire set for the FJ (Stock #8136/Part #RC-TE92), when I was told that I had to make sure that whatever plug wires I bought for the Pertronix HAD to be 'carbon core' due to EMI adversely affecting the ignitor. Sure enough, when I went to their website, it states: "With all PerTronix ignitions, we recommend that a suppression style spark plug wire (also called carbon core) be used. The suppression wires do an excellent job of controlling EMI with no degradation to the ignition performance." Elsewhere, I read: "PerTronix is particularly susceptible to misfires when RFI is introduced -- mostly at high RPM's, but also at low RPM's once the misfires start to degrade the electronics." My question is: Do you think it's necessary to purchase 'carbon core' wires? Or can I safely use the NGK's? I tried to reach Pertronix by phone but no success yet -- they put me on terminal 'hold' so I sent them an email with no response as of yet. Tried NGK with similar response. Any opinions/insight/ advice would be very much welcomed!
