It took me about an hour and a half to do my XR8. The only hard part was getting the leads to not touch the exhaust headers.

FYI, EF's and AU's don't run a distributor... The distributor ended with the EL...
EF's and AU's run a Coilpack...

Just a query. Why would they drop the dizzy in the EF, only to temporarily bring it back for the EL? Sounds a bit stupid to me.

I can do my EF in around 12 minutes now - but I cheat slightly by having the coilpack on top of the charger baseplate - so nice and accessible.
