Hi Paul ive received the leads[ top notch] separators on the wayPaulB wrote:Hi,
Those HT leads look too short to me as they're being pulled around the oil filler cap. If you make them longer, you can also route them in a more attractive manner.
I'm not suggesting this is perfect, but it does show that a little more length in the leads can make for a neater layout.
Anywhere the leads come into contact with the engine is an opportunity for arcing. The leads should also be be separated from each other to prevent, or minimise the risk of induced sparking. This happens when the voltage in one lead induce a voltage and thereby a spark at the plug in an adjacent lead. Depending on where that piston is at the time, it can cause serious damage. You should use plug lead separators to minimise the risk.

Re: New to the Regiser
You're right Roger, so we're mine, thinking about it. The principle remains the same though, connect all the leads to the plugs and route them neatly, using the separators, to the distributor. You will find that there is a neat way to run the leads across the distributor where necessary.Roger King wrote:PaulB wrote:The Morosos come with the plug end moulded on already, you only cut and fit the distributor end. I favour the 45° plug boot, but that's for the Ford - I don't know which would work best with the Rover.
Have fun.
