No AU's have dizzys not even V8's, all run off coils. 6 cyl one is underneath the intake manifold (good luck with it as its a bugger of a spot) and is 1 coil pack that fires all 6 cylinders. V8 has 2 which are right on top of the engine and easy as to get to ::hihi:.

DO NOT get Top Gun leads - they are utter junk.

Leads on the 6's aren't too diffucult for DIY - remove your airbox and piping up to the elbow or so and you should be able to get your arm through the gap. You really can't see what you're doing but one lead off / one lead on at a time will get the job done.

I have Eagle 8mm Spiral core leads and they are doing an excellent job.

Pay more and get quality.Get some custom spiral wires made at a race shop. Names like moroso,msd come to mind. They will definately perform better and last longer than the off the shelf brands.
