I have a newish set of the Beru leads and I must say that I have slight issues with them. I was wondering if I am alone.

I think that the problem comes with the EXTREMELY tight fit of the ends onto the distributor cap. It takes serious muscle to force the leads right down. But the fittings on the end really aren't up to serious muscle: the lead is held into the cap with one puny screw.

I lifted the cap on the Bosch distributor to check the cam timing. I was pretty gentle about it. When I put everything back together the engine was terminal. The right head was cold (4-6). After the usual emotional traumas I decided that I had to test the leads. Leads 5 and 6 had infinite resistance from the cap to the end.

So I had to pull the leads out of the cap to check them ...

I have pretty strong hands ... I thought ...

Both failures were in the cap end, and applying titanic force cannot have helped the chances of future reliable performance.

Sorry - I guess that I don't expect you guys to say much. I just needed to let it out!
