+ACI-Dave Plowman (News)+ACI- +ADw-dave+AEA-davenoise.co.uk+AD4- wrote in message news:51523b91efdave+AEA-davenoise.co.uk... +AD4- It's caused me grief trying to find somewhere decent to fit the coils. +AD4- I've ended up with them at the front of the engine roughly where the dizzy +AD4- was - and neither Mondeo or Escort leads are quite long enough. The +AD4- longest run is about 1 metre. I'd also be happier with new matching +AD4- leads - and to buy two sets ain't cheap. +AD4- Try Fiesta leads, MK 3-4 ?. It's what I've used on mine, they were longer than Mondeo ones... -- Tony Bond / UncleFista www.bradford7.co.uk Love is like a snowmobile, speeding across the frozen tundra.

The maximum length I need is 1 metre. The coil packs are offset to the right (offside) of the engine, and that's the run to No 7 cylinder. -- *It is easier to get older than it is to get wiser.

All I can see though is 3K/ft http://www.magnecor.com/ There is a UK distributor listed and they say they will supply just the cable, but advise against it ! |

Given the prices they charge for made up leads, I'm not surprised. ;-) I've actually found out the spec for EDIS leads courtesy of a forum. Seems the minimum load is 5k. Many just use plugs with resistors and copper core wire. But they may not be too worried about blotting out TVs... -- *All those who believe in psychokinesis, raise my hand * Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |
