Bob,
I appreciate the concern, this is not housing wire. I have at least 100' of that as well.
I'm not sure why I purchased this spool. Must have been on sale. It might be 12 gauge now that I think about it.

Blue hose = goes from the brake fluid reservoir to the clutch master cylinder. Not the easiest hose to replace, rots and falls off dumping your brake fluid and leaving you with a limp clutch.
Other using the power bleeder have blown the hose off by pumping up the power bleeder up too high.
I solved the second issue by clamping on the blue hose, factory did not.

Hello Dave,
Twisted pairs are designed to work in balanced systems, and then they do give the interference imunity you describe.
Coax systems are designed to work in unblanced systems, which is what we have in the 928 application.
I am sure that 50 ohm coax would work fine as a substitute for the green wire. The PTFE type of coax I am proposing of course has excellent heat resistance, and so should be a permenent fix.
The problem is getting hold of the connector at the distrributor end in order to make up new leads (Roger, can you source those ?) I can source the male 2 pin at the harness end.

Did you ever make any of these? Would a defective Green Wire cause a no start condition? I have fuel to my plugs and spark, which I removed a spark plug and put it against the hoisting eye and got spark as I jumped the starter from the harness. I do have a part of the wire showing its shielded wire are, but doesn't seem to be touching the center wire. I would be interested in just replacing it for a reasonable price.

No problem got a new one, installed it, and the car started but ran like the timing was way off. I spliced my old green wire reinstalled it and everything was fine. Hmm I said, and compared the continuity of the old and new green wires and viola...the connectors were wired with opposite polarity.

Hi Mitch! I also noticed where the shielded wire is showing the inner insulation seems be crushed too. I am wondering if I just splice it and redo it, I can at least find out if this is my problem before I buy a new one. I would hate to buy a new one, only to find out it was something else causing my no start.
