Magnecor or Top Gun Ignition Leads

[Garry]

The original Magnecore design for the NB8B was rubbish. The lead would slide out through the boot on the spark plug side not clipping onto the plug and the boot itself would'nt seal onto the valve cover properly, but would weld itself to the spark plug making it next to impossible to remove. I've been told they have redesigned them though. I got a refund and went back to factory leads. Click, click, done for another 90,000km. Everything fits perfectly and works like it's supposed to.

Have used 8.8 top gun spiral wire leads now for the last three years.
never an issue, run a Bosch 4 point plug with them and it seams to be a good combo!

Yeah I did notice it takes abit of force and effort to remove magnecore the leads from the plugs. I think its di electric grease/silicone makes it a bit easier.

Garry's comment on design is really quite illuminating. The OE suppliers have to pass every design , cost and quality standard imaginable and produce quality results measured in parts per mill (ppm)That is why cars have such long warranties- remember not that many years ago cars offered 12/20 warranties

Magnecor's are fine. They fixed the problem years ago...

I run Magnacore Blues. They seem fine to me. Tight fit though.

I use magnecore 8.8's on my NB8B. I even did a god-awful oil change just last fortnight and spilled a heap of oil down the plugs. Both the magnecore and standard plugs sealed fine..after I degreased it I had no oil down my sparkplug lines.
