I found a good spot to mount my ignition coil on the backbone between the carbs. I am running Mikes Ultimate coil with the pamco kit. I'm also planning on running these vintage braided plug wires, which is kind of a toss up.
My concern is with the potential fire hazard resulting from coil being so close to the carbs and fuel lines, especially with the vintage wire. I've been told that the vintage wires don't have the proper shielding/insulation for electronic ignitions and that they could could arc straight through the PVC.
Should I really be worried about the fuel in the carbs igniting and causing a fire? Or am I just being paranoid? Does anybody have any REAL firsthand experience with these wires or with placing the coil between the carbs? and not so much "he said - she said"
Also, is that a sufficient grounding method for the coil/pamco? Thanks
