Quick question about leads and their random effects...

Hi all its been a while since I started a new thread and I thought, hey this is fun enough to do just so. Today (being friday) I aquired some 10.00mm lead seperators after quite some mission to find some, and after spending about a half hr and learning that you gotta, go with the flow baby, of the leads for an effective result and they are fitted.

I crank her over and now it seems to be idling smoother although just a bit higher, note I was super anal about placement of the spacers and leads contacting with each other, I will post pics later if ppl like. Also power seems smoother and while checking the instant fuel usage it was a little lower on partial accelleration.

Is it possible spacers and my pickyness of placement has done this or is is just coz ive messed with my leads and contacts are now better or something.

It looks so much neater now, curse Top Gun in the first place for not including a set with custom made leads in the first place.

6pAc.

Re: Quick question about leads and their random effects...

Meh possible, I found when I put EF 10mm leads on (thats what they had), not only did the motor look prettier, but the leads wound up with a better spacing anyway due to the different routing I had to figure out
But yeah, before I did the routing I just had them hanging and routing them definitely made an improvement....
