Spark plugs and leads

Post by Vortex75 » Sun Apr 06, 2014 4:55 pm

Just wondering what spark plug you guys reckon is best for an EA82T? And is there any point buying better leads?

definitely get good leads, by now the dizy might need replacing too.
used to run a ea82t some years ago, with a CDI (capacitor discharge ignition)
unit, good leads were a treat.
Plugs, I just used standard plugs, IIRC, I gapped them a bit wider, I could because of the CDI.........

NGK BCP6ES -11 from memory the C gets you the smaller hex 5/8" so smaller socket does not jam against the head casting as opposed to BP6ES-11 with the larger 13/16" spark plug socket.

I got my leads custom made up by eagle performance in Gosford but had to provide exact length of the lead including the terminal, but not the boot as they did not keep or want to keep the specs for spider manifold leads. Used their low resistance black leads with gold print. Any good tune shop should be able to make up leads to measurements
