The SC cars use Male while the Carrera uses Female type connectors. Other than this difference are the cables similar? If they are you can find SC cables at much lower cost than the Carrera cables, so could you simply change the distributor connectors? Would this work?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Sal,
I made my own from a set I found off a 95 Dodge Intrepid 3.5 V6.
Here it is using HEI rated ( larger diameter ) cap and rotor from a Ford Taurus 3.8.
Extreme wet performance test and with plugs gapped at 0.060":
This may be too much of an "out of the box" solution for some, but can be a very rewarding learning experience, particularly, when I realized that resistor cables really do work, even better than stock ignition cables.
Cheers,
Joe
