Ignition Components Have Arrived!

The MSD 8.5mm Super Conductor spark plug wire set, PerTronix Ignitor points-to-electronic ignition conversion kit, and PerTronix Flame-Thrower ignition coil I ordered have arrived! The spark plug wire set came with the terminals and the boots already installed on the spark plug end. The distributor end of the wires are left bare so that the wires may be cut to the appropriate length and attached to the included socket or HEI-style boots. To my surprise, the kit also included a coil wire! I wish they would include this juicy fact in their product description ... it would have saved me the trouble of buying that additional coil wire. Also included in the kit is a mini wire stripper/crimper to build the cables. Heads-up: you'll need a vise to complete the installation.

Pictured below right is the sexy looking PerTronix ignition coil that'll spit out 40,000 electronic frying volts! First thing that needs to go is the sticker. I regret ordering a chrome bracket for the coil. Chrome-on-chrome might be overkill. I wonder if they make a coil bracket in black ... or red? All I need now are for the spark plugs to show up before the weekend.
