Any know where I can get a set that are specifically for a 4.5 cerb (coil packs at the rear). Not some crappy pattern parts that are all the same length so one of the leads ends up draped over the nearside cam cover as it's too short.

the 4.5 leads are supposed to go over the cam covers confused

are you sure you've not got 4.2 leads fitted (all go around the rear of the cam boxes) .. and your coils are maybe incorrectly orientated so they don't fit properly .. ?

If everything is as it should be then it should all fit no problems smile

I bough them as 4.5 leads and they are all long enough to go round the back except the front cylinder on the offside bank. I suppose I could poke them through the TBs but I like them out of the way. I would have expected that a proper set of tailored leads would all be cut to length regardless of whaich way they should be run, otherwise you have a whole bunch of spagetti under TBs around the alternator.

the std 4.5 leads arent long enough to go round the back of the heads, theyre only just long enough to over the top of the cam boxes to the coils. I dont know what youve got but theyre not 4.5 leads wink
