Title: What Ignition Leads
Post by: leec on October 03, 2012, 14:00:53 pm
Hi guys,

Giving my Race car a bit of a winter service...

I run a 009 with petronix and am after recommendations on what leads to run. Would like the 90 degree ends to fit the 009 cap but not essential.

The engine is 2276cc, 48ida's, FK87, 10.3:1, wedgeports etc etc

Lee

Thanks Glenn for a sensible suggestion :)
Are these good for a performance motor?

Seem hard to get in the Uk from a quick search...

I use Beru Porsche 912 wires. Nice quality and cheaper than the 09001 Bosch now. Fit VW type 1 perfect.

just be careful of the core material depending on your plug caps, the stock Vw dont fit with a solid core very well i found, well they didnt. i'm switching to a braided core so i can run the VW beru plug caps for cooling which screw into the wire.....

depends if your wanting crimp on or screw in plug caps :)
