Will Ford copper SP wire sub for braided silver?

[ba_50]

This '57 Johnson 35hp RD19 has silver braided plug wires. I have some ignition wires that says Hypaloncopper conductor. Will any wire work?

This one has a straight end on it and can it be swapped for the 90 degree one? The 35's has the sharp pin that goes into the wire. Not sure about the other one.

I doubt if splicing would las since they get jolted back and forth.
Thanks.

Metal conductor required ... no carbon conductors. Standard Packard spark plug wire works fine.

Silver braided??? You mean like braided on the outside? That sounds like it may have the radio suppression kit on it. A rare bird. Yes, stock wire was a copper core hypalon type.

You can purchase copper wire by the foot at NAPA, I did.

It is twisted inside the insulation.

I stuck a copper wire on and got a spark. Thanks.
