  • performance leads

    just noticed that my spark plug leads are starting to crack and one i can start to see the wires on #2 so they gotta be replaced, does any one know of any performance leads to fit festivas?

      Since you're in Australia, I don't imagine you want to ship from US. Most auto parts places here have 8mm silicone wires. I imagine you can find them locally, there, too. Like WES said, Magnacores are the best, but really, unless you have a HIPO Festy, any 8mm silicone wire (i.e. Bosch) should be fine.

        Mine are the stock ones and need replacing. Does the racing like magnecor leads add hp? Or should I buy a set of originals?

          I bought ignition wires with a lifetime warranty from the national auto parts discount retailer and kept the receipt. I have replaced them once at no cost when one was damaged while working on the engine.

            I prefer Taylor wires. IMO, the best you can get.

              I am going to change the wires but, I thought I would check the coil first. (ohms - resistance). The primary reading is: 2.3 ohms. And the secondary reading is: 11,810 ohms. Is this coil good or it needs replacement?

                Are the stock original leads good for performance?

                  Pretty much anything will work with the B3.

                    That is so true... They last forever. But will it makes a difference between stock originals leads cost about. $30 and some, so called high performance racing ones cost more than $80?

                      Theyre basically just overbuilt. More insulated, maybe better conductor, but its not really gonna benefit a b3 much. Its like getting a b6t or bp festiva without ever having intentions of going fast.
