Refreshing the HT setup but keeping it 'standard'
Discussion
Hi chaps,
After chasing a stalling and then non-starting issue I think I finally tracked it down to a knackered fuel relay and an HT problem.
To get to the point I am now I've removed my Moroso leads and stuck on a set of Magnacours I had in the parts bin because I found plug lead #4 didn't want to stay on the extender and the car seems to have stopped stalling and is running sweetly again, if a bit rich which I believe is a case of TADS with a pre-cat isn't it?
So its time to refresh the HT side I think, but I don't really want to be forever tinkering with a laptop or anything of the sort so I'd prefer to keep it at least 'relatively' standard.
I've swapped the dizzy cap and ignition amp but can't get the ruddy rotor arm off. Does anyone have any tips for easing that damned thing off?
What are the latest thoughts on extenders and plugs? I've just put in a new set of B7ECS but I'm happy to replace them if necessary.
And is it worth binning the extenders and putting in the fireproof lead protectors instead?
If you've bought stuff recently please let me know where from and I'll love you for ever for saving me the searching time.
No fighting now. Everyone play nice !

Thanks for the help chaps.
Bluebottle, I've read about the issue of pulling the guts out of the dizzy if you're heavy handed getting a stuck rotor arm off. Thanks for the advice, I'll give it a go.
Colin, those leads look great and I think I've found a source who imports them into the UK so now I'm in a quandry - keep it simple as Argent says or go mad and get these leads plus socks etc.
Hmmm

Ditch the lot & get Dom to install the MBE upgrade. I decided my Griffith was a keeper so worth the investment. It really is the best upgrade I've done.
Not a frigging chance guys. I work with computers every day so the last thing I want to do is get a computer any where near my car, or feel I might need to.
I'll accept the foibles of the traditional HT setup - for now.
