Description:
Magnecor KV85 and R-100 Ignition Cables are primarily designed to eliminate both EMI and RFI suppression problems resulting from the use of solid and .mag. style conductor ignition wires on vehicles utilizing high-output ignition systems together with sensitive on board electronic devices, including fuel, ignition and engine management systems, as well as radio and TV equipment. When used with high-output ignitions, exceptional ignition performance can be expected from domestic and foreign built race and modified engines using fuel injection, turbo- charging, super-charging and / or exotic fuels.
Magnecor KV85 and R-100 Ignition Cables can also be used to advantage on engines fitted with exhaust emission controls, as well as marine engines, and severe load commercial vehicle engines - particularly those using alternative fuels such as propane and natural gas with a history of persistent ignition lead failure. These engines will benefit from the ability of Magnecor Ignition Cables to conduct a high spark current at above and below normal operating temperatures.
Unless deliberately severed, Magnecor’s Metallic Inductance Suppressed conductors will provide full conductance indefinitely
OVERALL LEAD ASSEMBLY
Outside Diameter of Cables.......... 8.5mm (KV85) and 10mm (R-100).
Colour............................................... Red.
Boot/Terminal Configuration....... Various - to suit different domestic and foreign applications as well as customer special requirements.

Since 1976, Magnecor has been a manufacturer and supplier of ignition wires used for competition, street, industrial and military applications. Magnecor is able to provide a spark plug wire set and individual wires for almost every engine ever made using a variety of technically advanced long-service-life ignition cables.
Magnecor wires are not cheaply constructed generic spiral conductor ignition wires like some other ignition wire companies' are. Magnecor wires provide excellnet RFI and EMI suppression and feature a strong heat resistant jacket. The conductor inside the cable will last indefinitely unless severed.

Q: What are spark plug wires? Why purchase spark plug wires?
A: Factory spark plug wires deliver voltage to your spark plugs. Sport spark plug wires deliver a hotter, more powerful, and longer spark to the spark plugs, resulting in more power while reducing the chance for misfires and eliminating radio static.
Q: How do you install spark plug wires?
A: Spark plug wires take seconds to install. After removing your factory spark plug wires from the valve cover and distributor, you simply replace them with your new ones. 4-cyl motors have 4 spark plug wires; 6-cyl motors have 6 spark plug wires, and so on.
Q: Are spark plug wires the same thing as ignition wires?
A: Ignition wires are another term used for spark plug wires. They are two terms that mean exactly the same thing.
