I am just wondering if any one cuts the armor around their ignition cable to make a lot easier to install. And if do they how much? I am sure no one wants to whack up an original one. Right!
 
i know a guy that wanted to saw-zaw his water pump in half so he didnt have to mess with the radiator....:cool:

If you want something easier just buy the thin repro cable and switch. I wouldn't damage original parts to make some job easier.

Right!!

I have seen where someone has opened up the clamp by filing a hex shape so it would fit over the head nut with a friction fit so as to not have to remove the nut. As I posted before, a working POP out can go for as much as $400.00.
 
I have heard of people doing it before but not to and original. Just thought I would ask. sorry I out of here.
 
Long ago, I've seen a cork, with a nail driven through it, then "screwed" into the dist. hole & the wire just wound the nail!!!

I use a modern look alike switch from Brattons, and I cut the cable housing short, so it looks correct under the hood, but is not in the gas tank tunnel making noise. It is easier to install.

Richard YES,. Ron Ehrenhofer rebuilds originals and always cuts them to make two parts, easy to install and remove and no one can tell...
