Might need to get new leads soon. The OEM ones have done abotu 150,000 k's. How long are they meant to last. Is there a visual sign when they start to wear out??

visual isn't a good indication if any. must do an impedance test with a multimeter.

NEW are around 2500ohm or less per foot.

there is a brand out there, i think it was magnacore that had <1000ohm per foot.

it is a bit hard to say this is better than that as the insulation thickness also plays a part in it's performance

How do you test it with a multimeter??

I know how to test voltage but how do ya test resistance???

With a multimeter you should be able to set it to Ohms. The workshop manual should state what the maximum resistance is, eg 25,000 ohms.

yeah but do you just whack it on either end of the spark plug or do you need to have it attached to the dizzy??

I could imagine electricuting myself if i had to have it connected to the dizzy lol.

Connect one probe to each end of the same lead.

These are the blue ones right?

I just had a guy quote me today at 'On The Run' motorsports in Melbourne for NGK leads for the b16a at $295. and that they had run out and more arriving from japan in a week. are these some kind of super dooper oober leads that no one no's about or just really expensive...

Also just checking websites for them now, there is another set, NGK, but a lighter blue colour with the product code: 01H and it is like $30us more expensive????

Wats with the "fits Civic VTi-R EK '95~'98 B16A"

Does that mean they won't work with 99 spec b16a?
