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

yeah they will fit.

i noticed your sig also regarding the coil. i'm guessing you have your external coil dizzy cap sorted?

actually no, i think i may have to do a little more research into this stuff, i havn't really looked into it all that much.

look in the DIY section and search for a great post by ECU-MAN regarding the external coil dizzy setup with pics.

Never had a problem with the setup.

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??

they die when they die really.
if your car starts and runs fine.
chances are so are your leads.
if it cracked or so, it would misfire.

sorry to hijack but thicker leads, say TOP GUN, would that be a benefit to performance or is it just a rice look. ie. red leads.. etc

as stated by destrukshn above your post, if their cracked it will misfire. thicker insulation prevents spark leak in the lead chamber and grounding through the head.

thicker leads do not necesarily mean a thicker core which isn't neccesarily beneficial anyway as it will require more oomf to transfer to the plugs

it is in the core design where the importance lies

another proven set of leads (i only know of one member on here thats used them in his setup) are the nology ones with built-in capacitor which actually improves spark. they are around $300 for a set. Problem with them is that dues to massive charge/discharge/current they go through they corrode easily and was proven to gain impedance within a year of prolonged use... making the price you pay not so worth it.

yeah thats the longest lead going from the dizzy (intake side) to the furthest cylinder away (timing belt side).

OEM Leads. FTW
