HT lead Suppressor

[Bluebottle]

Can anyone tell me where i can get one of those 5ohm? suppressor thingies that sits between the dizzie cap and the King lead that makes your rev counter read correctly :cough: well, nearer to correctly please?

I doubt you will find that one that easily these days, they where all the rage the days of AM radios and Copper HT leads. A much easier answer is jut to buy a bog standard King lead from your local motor factors, as these are high resistance as standard, (as is any standard HT lead) and much more reliable than screwing resistors into a cut lead !

You would normally achieve that result by using resistive plugs, extenders or leads.

Normally yes, this is just an annoying side effect of Magnicor leads.
I've gotten used to it now as I drive on noise/feel, but it can be a pain on trackdays when you're asked to give it 4500rpm, and you know you could be bouncing off the rev limiter and the dial saying 4000rpm. (I usually tell'm I'm running in a new engine and give them 3500rpm

You still have the option of resistive plugs or extenders.
