Title: ignition leads
Post by: Utemad on April 12, 2009, 05:28:27 PM
I have been having a lot of trouble trying to find a black set of leads for my fe ??? ???. It is an original car and i dont want to put the irridescent blue ones on that the auto stores sell. Does anyone know who makes or sells original style leads? Or at least where i can find black leads. Any info would be appreciated.
Cheers Brent

Which of the suggested suppliers did you go with? It would be good to know who you're giving the ups to.

FJ leads have right angle fittings so I'm not surprised that some leads were short. The lead would need to be maybe 20 or 30 mm longer to suit a straight fitting.

Unfortunately I don't have a stock car here any more - I'm sure others can provide the lengths though.
