Resistor plugs, leads and caps
Discussion
Hi
I've Just bought a TVR S1 which has the 2.8 ford cologne V6, needs a lot of work along with a good service. It starts and runs ok but doesn't rev cleanly, plug gaps were all over the place but also I've found it has resistor spark plugs, carbon leads and 1k ohm suppressor caps. Leads measure about 10k ohms, dependant on length. I believe the plugs are about 5k ohms.
My question is could I do away with the resistor plugs and suppressor caps for a better spark? Assuming the carbon leads would do the job and wouldn't interfere with anything else, it's not like there's much electronics.
Thanks in advance.

The suppressor caps are at the distributor cap end so could be done away with. Good point about the caps giving a more constant resistance compared to leads of different lengths.
I'm fairly sure the leads are carbon there branded ford, the core is graphite in colour how does a magnecor lead compare?
I think I'll try normal plugs to start with and go from there.
