Ok which to get. Not replaced them since I got it so they're prolly ancient. Only bit of the ignition setup I haven't serviced really.

Magnecor 7mm,8mm or KV85? Will I notice a difference? Will the 8mm allow the cover to be fitted?

i have 8mm, top f16ie cover fits fine but they are a git to get into the plastic runners on the bottom cover. dont go any bigger than 8mm otherwise they wont fit atall!

wudnt say they make ne difference tbh, not runnin enough power to be affected by ht lead size, but they look nice! i have the blue flavour! 8)

Cool. 8s are only about 50p more for a set than 7s from MSW so I'll just get them I think.

best technique for gettin em into the runners without breaking out is to push em as best u can then block off wood over than and smack em in with a lump hammer! 8) i figured this out after i broke the damn things! :lol:

Have a look at bb tuning
They do the ignition package for £100 and that has the kV85 Leads (Red Ones), New Dizzy and Rotor Arm and Ngk Spark Plugs,

Don't need the full kit as I replaced everything relatively recently anyway, other than leads. Might just go 7mm then if they fit easier.

My KV85's are a very tight fit, 3 of the rows go in but there isnt space for the last one.

Standard plugs would have been fine, £8 posted from Ebay.
