HT Leads

Hi all

Has anyone any suggestion for my Tiger Cat E1

I have a 2.0l Pinto lump and I have a problem with the HT leads I bought for it

The Lead between the distributor and coil is about 30cm too short

Can anyone advise me of the relevant set I need to buy

Oh and anyone know the Spark plug clearances off their head

Many thanks

The ignition coil on kit cars is rarely mounted where it was original in the donor car, so no-one can tell you which set you need.

You can get a set custom made for a reasonable cost e.g. here or you may be able to find a motor factors that still sell individual HT leads; most of them used to do this, but since modern cars don't use HT leads not so many do now.

Spark plug gap 0.7 to 0.8mm if using conventional ignition. 1.0 mm if using a Megagolt or similar distributorless ignition
