Resistor Lead Substitution
« on: November 22, 2016, 05:19:17 AM »
 I have wondered whether it is possible to substitute resistor leads for standard leads with resistor spark plugs. Has anyone done it and is it possible without doing any damage to the ignition module.
Regards Martin.

There's at least one thread on this -- we Yanks generally call them wires not leads so your search may not have turned up the threads.

I asked a similar question a couple years ago...

Then there's this...

I agonized about it for a while then made a decision on what plugs to use with my aftermarket spark plug leads from Beemer Boneyard, but I can't remember what the decision was...good luck!
