Chrome_GT Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 To all you with old oldschool cars with old as ignition systems (points, rotor, condensor, cap, coil) What type of leads do you use. I've been running on Champion HT high supression leads the entire time I've had the car. These are the typical leads sold at repco for all vehicles. I was told today that I should try using Spiral wire ignition leads which have approx 1kohm resistance compared with 10kohm for suppression leads. I'm keen to hear what you others use in basic cars like escorts, capris, chevettes, vivas, morris, minis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrome_GT Posted August 6, 2007 Author Share Posted August 6, 2007 Have you tried these leads? Do they really interfere? The impression I got was that high supression leads were introduced to minimise interference with ECUs etc. Does using spiral wire leads improve performance cos if they do I'd rather my car went well and I'll just listen to MP3 CDs? If using high resistance leads means the ignition system requiring more maintenace then I'd rather avoid this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
