And don't even get me started about different dynos on different days..... Quote

The amount of power you would gain on a 2AC from high-power plugs and leads is minimal at best, and more likely nothing other than a placebo/+10kw on the clueless-bum-dyno. It's a freaking standard 1.3L SOHC carby 2AC for crying out loud. no it a standard 1.6 carby the old owner changed the engine Quote
ke70dave Posted October 20, 2010 Report Posted October 20, 2010 el-o-el at 2hp. this thread i think has surved its purpose. though just don't go and buy a set of ignition leads if you havent checked your current ones are in spec. Quote

And just as unlikely to get "amazing" gains from purely changing plug and leads, unless the existing leads are made from string and the plugs are Bic lighters. Quote

snot35 Posted October 21, 2010 Report Posted October 21, 2010 I wouldn't worry about it. With the high voltage that's pumped through leads, that small a difference isn't going matter. And yes, Ohm is spelt correctly. :) Quote

One of the leads has an apparent resistance 1000 times less than the rest......then again, there can be issues out there with leads showing up small resistances to multimeters etc but due to the skin effect they actually have quite large resistances (high voltage current tends to travel in a thin skin around the outside of a conductor) Either way, you ideally should have a full set of leads from the same manufacturer with the same resistance across all of them.

Good luck with that. Leads of the exact same material with be a difference resistance with a different length. I'm not sure about your leads, but most of mine are different lengths. A quick google seems to indicate these leads are within acceptable limits. Quote
