Brian, If I were going to be hotrodding I would do as you are saying. If I had an old tractor that I used and depended upon I would not want the hotter system because of the associated problems with too hot of a spark. Too much of a good thing is not necessarily a good thing. Obviously you have never experienced the spark jumping inside the distributor cap to an adjacent cylinder causing a misfire. Some older tractors use metal tubing as a harness and route all the plug wires through one tube. Problems here are cause by induced voltage from running the high voltage parallel to the other wires. Additionally you can not get the best insulated new wires pulled through the harness due to the diameter of the insulation. When using the old original type plug wire with actual wire inside I have experienced arcing through the insulation to the harness. I guess it is best summarized that one needs to do what best fits his needs and wallet.
