ACCEL Knowledgebase Question:

I had a Jacobs Electronics Pro-street ignition system that was originally bought for a 1990 Ford F-150 w/302cid, but Ford was parked due to engine fire, hi-po system was never put into Ford, so I called Jacobs (it was still Jacobs then), he said no problem, should work for '92 Chevy...so in it went, along with Jacobs hi-po wires with ceramic boots, well, anyways, one of the wires connected with a header and melted through, I was wondering what the chances are that I could get single a replacement wire? Especially since I can't afford $400 for a whole new set, and it would really be swell to get another blue one. Maybe there's one laying around in the back closet somewhere? I could afford one or two, maybe, but not a whole set. This truck runs a cool 230*F internally, but underhood temps exceed 400*F, I've been directed by the local dealer to install a vented hood, the temp has caused some other electrical problems as well. I used to run through a new set of wires every year, but since the Jacobs, they've been lasting. When they do burn out for good, I'll come by here and get some more ceramic tips then. Hopefully, I'll be working steady again by then. In the meantime, please let me know if you could help me out here. Thanks much.
