Posted: Tue May 15, 2018 4:54 pmIf the ignition system is original, I would recommend using solid core spark wire. The original color was most likely black. If I got the wire type wrong, CB89 will very likely correct me.

Black wires, solid core, 6V coil, positive ground.
So, no cloth. You can buy universal wire sets and make them to length (standard 608W is what I use)
Just for good measure, I like to solder the wires to the end pieces. You don't have to, but I did. Be careful on the coil end, if the wire protrudes then it will not fit into the coil.
