Just to let everyone know how well the conversion to Gasmaster leads and Iridium plugs has gone. Seem to be using less gas on long runs and definitely better performance, especially when overtaking.
I recommend it to anyone, even if only running on petrol. Thanks for everyone's advice,
Cheers Charlie
Do you mind me asking how much the gasmasters were?Quote:

Did you get them online if so where from?
Leads $68 plus postage; ordered them by phone. The plugs were around $20 ea plus GST,

I just turfed my Magnacore leads. I vaguely remember when I bought them they said something about a lifetime warranty on them , but I don't have my receipt.
5 years later, I noticed the outer casing on all leads at the spark plug end were splitting where they gently bend. Obviously the heat from the exhaust manifold has caused this. Gone back to Bosch, cheaper and will probably get the same life out of them
I can see your point I have a set of bosch sport something or other at $5 each they have been great up to know I just wonder about the internal resistance against the likes of gasmaster & magnecore?Quote:

If some one could show me how to measure Ohms on my $10 meter I could check one ;)
I suppose you would have to look at insulation too so your good spark doesn't earth out.
Anyone ever done a comparison?
