After finding a couple of "burnt" spark plug leads, and being treated to an interesting light show off the offending cables, I am looking at getting some replacement leads. From the Topgun site (I came across a post somewhere here about these leads) I have discovered that available for the NL Pajero are the standard leads or some MAX 300 ones. Main difference seems to be the resistivity of the leads - std ones in the range 5-7k ohm/m whilst the Max 300's are 1k ohm/m. From a quick search of some web sites, and remembering some theory from school I have determined that the higher resistance leads will give lesser spark; Figuring that more spark has gotta be better, I was leaning toward the Max 300's, but then I wondered if doing this could lead to earlier burn out of the spark plugs. It seems that both of these leads seem to be well below the 22k ohm max resistivity given as allowable in the manual I have.
Can anyone give me some wisdom on the pros and cons of the two different leads - or a recommendation on different leads ?
Also, does anyone have any good solutions to protecting the leads as they run past the thermostat (?) housing - had been figuring on getting some sort of heatproof sheathing.
Thanks in Advance !
