Both ends of shielding must be grounded. ========================================================================== == 1. Magneto output is to the spark plugs via the ignition harness wiring, so if the Slicks do "put out higher voltage" of significance, any change would be in the ignition harness and not to the P-lead wire size. 2. Original equipment magnetos on Ercoupes were Case, Eisemann or Scintilla. Over time the Scintilla (used by Forney) became Bendix, and that is what came on Mooney M-10s. If Slicks were original on any Alons AND REQUIRED DIFFERENT P-LEADS, there is no Service or Parts Manual evidence. 3. If non-original Slicks required heavier P-leads in a coupe of any vintage, such should be well documented by 337s. Has anybody seen it? 4. Of course the final authority on the question you raise should be Slick!
