I used RG58A/U for my radios and VOR.  Same stuff that is on my 65 Cherokee 

that has been working for 40 years.



I used the RG 400 for the GPS antenna.



The reason for the 58 was cost savings.  If you check ebay you can find RG 

400 for $1.00 per foot.  At that price, I would have used it for everything.

    Good thought. RG58 is pvc and polyethylene

    for insulation . . . the best we knew how

    to do in WWII. RG-400 and cousins are modern,

    high temperature materials and double shielded

    to boot. The best we know how to do in 2009.



    It's a plugs, points and coil versus electronic

    ignition kind of decision. Both will function

    as advertised.
