What are these wires supposed to do?  Do they cause the spark energy to
be compressed into a shorter time span?  For the $100.00 +, I would go
for capacitive discharge ignition and actually increase the amount of
energy that goes to the sparkplug.  I believe that they sell a kit in Oz
for around fifty bucks.  No snake oil, just a straightforward application
of known electronic technology.

Several years ago, I built a $35.00 heathkit CDI box.  My current vehicle
uses a somewhat more expensive Jacobs Omni Magnum.  It got rid of a high
end miss and causes it to idle well even in cold weather.  No, I'm not
trying to hawk Jacobs products.  There are lots of other products out
there that will do the trick.
