spark plug wires???

[DANIMAL799-at-aol-dot-com (by way of Terry Fritz <twftesla-at-uswest-dot-net>)]

i have been tossing around a few ideas for how to re-wire my coil for better 
performance.  (it doesn't even work yet and i want to re-build it already.  
:>)  have built the entire coil so far for a total of 27$  and i want to keep 
it that way.  i am using some beat up speaker wire i found under my couch for 
all of the wring of the tank circuts and it is a pretty poor way to go.   i 
was thinking of using some automotive spark plug wires that i couldn't get to 
fit on my 68 firebird to rewire my tank circut     (that car is the reason 
that i can only devote 27$ to my tesla coil hobby)  has anyone ever tried 
this before??   i am using 2 mot's for a power supply   would the high 
amperage of these suckers heat up the wires.  i know they have some sort of 
carbon conductor center.  i would assume this would have a higher resistance 
than copper   would this cause a lot of heat??  just another one of my new 
ideas...  -danny   albuquerque  new mexico
