...don't believe that "low-resistance" wires will help your FE. While "low-resistance" wires were popular with the hot-rodders, they tend to create LOTS of "ignition-noise" STATIC which your radio will loudly announce to the listening audience.

...additionally, too little wire resistance is also detrimental to maintaining optimum inductive-discharge spark-duration time -- it effectively lets all the spark "arc" energy dump to ground almost immediately, rather than maintaining the "arc" duration for about 1,000 microseconds by "metering" the current level discharge by the coil-secondary/wire RL-time constant.
