which makes me ask this question:
Is anyone using different plug wires for auto engine conversions? Most all
the pics I've seen of auto engines under the cowl (piston or rotary) use
auto spark plug wires. Silicon insulated carbon wires are great for cars,
but are there considerations for aircraft use? Do those boots ever come
loose? Is anyone using RG/58 style coax cable with nuts holding it onto the
plug and coil? (Coax also provides EM shielding.)

Was looking into coax of that size yesterday for an industrial application.
It doesn't go much higher than 2-3KV in breakdown voltage. Not what you want.

Try type N coax.

How about RG/400 ?
