I'm about to invest in a set of Magnecor spark plug leads for my 1983 900S since it doesn't have stock Saab (ie. Bougicord) leads and I'm keen to try the Magnecor product as we have a local Magnecor agent (Thundercords right here in Sydney) who make up the leads in Australia as required using Magnecor's lead and connector parts Craig. -- Craig's Saab C900 Page --> http://nospam/~c900 Sydney, NSW Australia Craig's Classic Saab Workshop -- For Saab 99/C900/9000 Enthusiasts world-wide! http://www.nospam.net http://www.nospam c900nospam.apana.org.au Come and explore our site, and check out our web-forums, mailing list, etc.
