The 8.5mm Super Conductor wire is the best wire you can run on your engine whether it’s a cruiser, sport compact or all-out race car. With less than 50 ohms per foot resistance, you can en- sure that the most spark energy possible reaches the spark plug gap. More spark energy means improved combustion resulting in increased performance! Even with its low resistance, the Super Con- ductor Wire suppresses Electro Magnetic Interfer- ence (EMI) like a high resistance factory wire. By tightly winding the copper conductor around a specially designed center core, a highly effective EMI choke is created. If that weren’t enough, the 8.5mm outer sleeve is a combination of silicone and synthetic materi- als to give the wire supreme resistance against heat, chemicals and abrasion. MSD’s boots are thicker to provide a great seal around the plug while offering excellent heat protection. Also, special dual crimp terminals are used that grasp both the sleeve and the conductor producing the strongest crimp available! The MSD 8.5mm Super Conductor is used on 330+ mph Top Fuel Dragsters, Sprint Cars, and everything in between. www.MSDIGNITION.com

MSD’s custom wire sets are made to pull out of the box and install on your engine. Many late model wire sets feature factory style boots and terminals for a perfect fit. More wire sets are constantly added so if you don’t see your application contact our customer service department.

Due to the increased size of the 8.5mm spiral wound conductor , it is important to use care not to cut into the conductor . Cutting into the conductor will affect the voltage carrying capabilities of the wire and extra caution should be taken if you are not using the MSD Mini-Stripper Crimper . As you cut the outer sleeve of the wire it is not necessary to cut completely through the insulator to the conductor . Instead, only cut about half way into the insulator then twist and pull the end off. After crimping the terminal on, it is a good idea to check the resistance of the wire. Use an ohm meter and measure the resistance of the completed wire. It should be between 40-50 ohms per foot. Example: A 36” wire should have the resistance of 120-150 ohms. Note: MSD only recommends stripping the 8.5mm wire with the Mini-Stripper-Crimper . 8.5mm Super Conductor Wire: Installing Terminals MSD IGNITION • www.msdignition.com • (915) 857-5200 • FAX (915) 857-3344 © 2007 Autotronic Controls Corporation FRM28458 Revised 03/07 Printed in U.S.A.

MSD IGNITION • www.msdignition.com • (915) 857-5200 • FAX (915) 857-3344 The Super Conductor Wire has less than 50 ohms per foot, the lowest available in a helically wound wire. A spe- cial copper-alloy conductor is wrapped very tightly around a ferro-magnetic impregnated center core which gives the wire extremely high EMI suppression. This design ensures that optimum spark energy will reach the spark plugs while EMI noise is held at a minimum. NOTE: Solid Core spark plug wires cannot be used with any MSD Ignition controls or Pro Mags. Just like tires, oil or spark plugs, the spark plug wires are a maintenance item. Service of the wires hinges on your application and ignition control. If you have a 6AL Ignition and use the car as a daily driver, the wires will last for thousands of miles. Conversely, if you are racing a high compression engine with nitrous and an MSD 10, the wires should be inspected and even replaced during the race season. When checking wires, closely inspect for signs of burning or arc-through. Look at the boots for signs of cracking or burning and using an ohm meter to check resis- tance of each wire is a good idea. Also, keep in mind that the coil wire is delivering eight times the spark so it should be checked closely. When checking resistance of the wires note that the longer wires will have more total resistance, but their values should average out. If one wire stands out among the others, it should be replaced. Spark Plug Wires Spark plug wires have two main objectives; transfer the spark energy to the plugs and suppress the Electro Magnetic Interference (EMI) that the spark voltage projects. Too high of resistance decreases the spark energy, yet too low of resis- tance may generate too much EMI noise which will interfere with the operation of other electronics on the vehicle. A good quality wire, proper routing and routine inspection are all important in getting the most performance out of your ignition system. MSD offers two great spark plug wires; Heli-Core Wire and the 8.5mm Super Conductor Wire. The Heli-Core Wires are a performance wire upgrade for any car or truck. For serious performance, the 8.5mm Super Conductor Wire is the wire of choice. Both sets of wires feature a conductor that is helically wound around a special center core that is designed to suppress, or choke, EMI. Helically wound, sometimes called spiral core, must be used with an MSD Ignition Control. Solid core wires do not suppress EMI so there could be interference with the ignition or other electronics on the vehicle.
