Hi-tension wire "wire" Sun, 23 November 2003 13:09 Go to next message
Does anyone know the best hi-tension wire you can buy? You can buy it in lengths to make your own leads. Im looking for 9mm+ diameter. Any idea on price/brand and where i can buy it? Because my engine is unique, i cant use stock length aftermarket or ford leads to my knowledge.
Thanks - blake!

There is a place here locally that can do you custom leads and or will just supply the cable to do it your self.
I have the details here somewhere but I cant be bothered looking from them at the moment Yawn

Custom length leads are not hard to make, simply order a kit in through your local parts store - if they looK at you blankly after you explain the need for such a kit, go elsewhere (cos at the end of the day, your money is paying their wage!).
Having said that, I'd propose a Cleveland set of leads will suffice as the dizzy is in the same position, and the Boss manifold size is not that dissimilar to the Cleveland.
I've put those leads aside we spoke about last week, was going to suggest posting them with the grinder? Let me know if you still want them?

I would have thought you'd be able to grab a set off the shelf to suit, but just head along to any performance ignition style place (I know of several in melbourne, your part of the world should be no different) and they can piece them together while you watch. May as well go the 10mm wire, with the fibreglass matting on the outside, big arse metal caps over the plugs etc. - even if it does squat all for the engine, it still looks big, meaty and tough Evil or Very Mad

The 10mm is a bit like using a furnace to cook lunch, but hell, it looks good - now you can claim that not only does your supra have the biggest engine, but the fattest leads too... (never mind that JZ powered supra's don't actually HAVE leads!)
