The Taylor 8mm street Series ignition wires comes in two designs, namely, the full metal jacket and the shielded wires. These ignition wires were originally designed for race car applications, but are now available for street car applications. The high-temperature endurance of these ignition wires is an impressive feature that is commonly found in race car applications. The copper wire conductors are perfect conductors of high-voltage electricity, offering very low resistance to the current.

Both the full metal jacket and shielded wire designs are engineered for maximum performance and durability. The main difference lies in their ability to resist radio frequency interference. Although most automobiles do not need shielded ignition wires, these wires are very useful in high-tech electronic ignition systems that are sensitive to radio frequency interference. Since, ignition wires carries high-voltage electricity, they also emits some radio signals that could interfere with the electronic system of the automobile.

On the other hand, radio signals from the outside may also be amplified by the ignition wires if they are not properly shielded. Ignition wires like the Taylor 8mm Street Series ignition wires have vital roles to play in the operation of the automobile. Ignition wires carry high-voltage electrical current from the ignition coils and distribute this current to the sparkplugs. There should be very small current resistance to facilitate the optimal delivery of electrical current. However, the wires themselves should be protected from the extreme heat generated by the engine and the current itself. One type of Taylor ignition wire features full metal jacket protection against heat and vibration. It has a vibration-proof double spring locking that will not easily detach from the sparkplugs even at extreme conditions. On the other hand, the shielded ignition wire is fully isolated from radio frequency interference that it may emit or receive. This ignition wire is ideal for high-tech automobiles utilizing electronic computer systems. By browsing our online catalog, you will easily find the automotive product you are looking for.
