    It sort of depends on which way you want the leads to lie, a few are best with right angle boots at the dissy. As a guide I'd suggest 51, 58, 58, 63 cm on the passenger side and 72, 72, 72, 84 cm on the drivers side. Try tape measuring your existing leads and taking the slack out of them.

    I think Magnecor already have a kit for all Rover v8's, don't they? or do you want to run their super-expensive 10mm leads?

    Try Queensland ignition leads in Kallangur (07 3886 5700), not far from you IICR. Not the cheapest but not too exxy either and will make them to suit in any shape, colour or configuration you require.

    Best leads I've ever used are Bosch Induction. Around $5 each at SC when on sale. Current set has over 120k kms and all is good. Bee utey is also a believer. You'd need to know the lengths though because they're sold loose.

    I'll never use standard or flashy silicon leads ever again.

    cheers, DL

    Under these circumstances I just pull them all off and take them to the counter and match them up.

    I was asked " Is it ignorance or apathy?" I replied "I don't know and I don't care."

    A long, long time since I've had to do it......... they last.

    I remember buying nine of the longest (same price) with right angle distributer ends, plug end straight.

    I just cut to length and put the old angled plug ends on (for a 350 with extractors). Can't buy angle / angle combo from SC.

    G`day ,

    set of Bosch leads for a Windsor other than the coil will work .

    When on special at Repco ECT are cheap to buy but quality is good enough to give no problems running lpg so petrol is no problem .
