    people running a 90 degree dizzy come in

    With my fmic piping i need to be running this, iv fitted one on my recent engine overhaul and got problems with the leads. Problem is its so close together comparred to the standard unit these thick magnecore leads im running wont push on properly, then once iv got all 4 on, its virtually impossible to fit the king lead. What are others doing triming the rubbers down?

    My old leads u can pull the inside connection through - which allows me to fit the king lead, but these magnecore onces you cant pull them through to do this

    I know the leads look good but arn't the standard leads supposed to be the best? didn't someone many moons ago actually test them back to back?

    If i were you i would just get some o.e HT leads

    Can't see any issues with trimming the rubber down to be fair, as long as you don't actually leave any thing showing/exposed that the current could arc from to something else it should be fine.

    I have fitted a 90 degree cap just recently and my o.e leads fit perectly, having said that I haven't started the thing for about 6 months

    i have another set of leads here and this works for them, but the magnecores are so tight it felt as though i was going to break them, will give it another try though
