Any advice on what are the best plugs and leads for a 1275 a+ engine. at the moment I have a missatch. I also bought at the stafford mini show a spitfire multi spark thingy, just itrigued, cant see any difference in spark and the internet is full of bad stuff about then.

let me know your thoughts

Well,

What I do is go to a place called "a shop" then I ask for spark plugs and leads for my car and year.

Then they give me them.

Really, you don't need OMG SUPER ULTRA LEADS FOR ULTRA SPARK 10bhp+. Just get good standard items from any decent car part shop. UNLESS you have something skin to a road going race car, which I'm doubting here.

Sure it's not 'Splitfire' ? But anyway - waste of money - no advantage. Just use decent quality leads with good plug caps and Champion N9Y plugs in a standard engine - N6Y if raised compression ratio etc etc.

I really wish the shows would stop booking that con man with his ignition garbage. I seem to remember a thread where we cut one in half to see if it could possibly work the way he claims. It's a plastic ball with a few washers in.

NGK BP6ES and standard Rover leads will be fine for street. A new set of leads every year is better than a really expensive set every couple of years in my opinion.

NGK are great Spark Plugs and I bought a set of red Lumenition HT Leads from Mini Spares (part no. HV22) and their fantastic. Not expensive either.
