sparks and ht's

[rob-legend]

right 2moro, i'm gonna change the spark plugs and fit some new HT leads, a couple quick questions, whats the gap measurement on the spark plugs? and when fitting new HT leads do i need to disconnect the battery or anything? also is it fine jus fitting them, with out doing any other maintence jobs on the car ie. changing oil etc?

The plug gaps are pre-set, you want some NGK BKR6EK's.

Should be safe to swap HT leads with the battery still on, as long as the ignition is off. Depends how lucky you feel! :P
