1776 ht leads ?
Hi want to replace leads on the Fastback. Not sure what sort I need as the engine is a 1776 with twin Dellortos. Any advice on what is best would be great and where to get them. cheers....

Re: 1776 ht leads ?
As long as the distributor and spark plugs are in the same place, then nothing has changed.
I make up HT lead kits (6mm Silicone lead - proper crimped ends). I make them to order so I can do custom lengths if you want them.
I also have a few new Bosch sets if you prefer a "name" brand.

Re: 1776 ht leads ?
The ones I make are £30 + post with straight distributor ends or £33 for angled (009, Injection or any other tall distributor) - I'll include custom lengths in those prices.
The Bosch leads are new and boxed, they have angled distributor connectors. I bought them before I got the kit to make them myself. The best I can do on them is £37 a set + post.
The Best... Well quality wise I think mine are as good as the Bosch.
They are all black so look a bit more "stock", where the Bosch leads are grey with black ends
If you looking for the angled ends then I'd say the bosch will give you a bit more clearance as the only connectors I can source are still quite tall.
Second class post on any of those is £2.80, or I can take to Stanford Hall.
I hope thats ok.

Fasty 72, I have a set of Mike's leads and they are fantastic, right length. I can recommend and will go back for another set when required.
All the best

Re: 1776 ht leads ?
I also bought a set from Mike too, the one lead is 36", you just can't get a shop bought set that will fit, never had a problem with the set I had from Mike, and will eventually buy again from him.

Re: 1776 ht leads ?
Thanks.
I have looked at doing Type 4 sets, but I can't find the extra long plug caps anywhere.
They are easier to get anyway as they're used on 1.7 - 2.0 Type 2's.
Stateside tuning sell a nice set, at a good price too!
