Silly question, but I’ll ask it anyway.


Just wondering, but can you make an interconnect with spark plug wire?

why is or isn’t this done?

Or. Your could have said the reality of the situation- you just don’t know. Got it
If he just went ahead and said that, then he wouldn’t be his usual charming self...

Wouldn’t work for interconnects. There is only one conductor covered by a very high voltage rated insulation. You need two conductors for an interconnect. A supply and a return.

Next problem the conductor is usually made of compressed carbon powder. Carbon is not a good low resistance conductor for low signal voltages.

But a carbon core wrapped in helically wound OFC copper wire (2 per interconnect) that they sell for making spark plug wires might sound pretty sweet. You’d need one heck of a wide plug, though...unless you direct soldered it.

Yes but the real MacGyver would know this and use two spark plug wires. Connected to a distributor so you could switch components really fast. Not only that but supply and return? The real MacGyver would know that’s plumbing not electrical. You’re not even on the right aisle.
