Me too. There's some mob in Qld that make them as well. They're not cheap though - around $10 to $15 per lead, but that's still cheaper than the $90 or so PER LEAD from Ford.

Go the MSD leads through BOTTLEDUP, the Eagle Eliminators that I replaced with these were never anywhere near as good.

You get them from a good bloke that will give you a good price and you don't have to muck about putting them together.

They dont have a kit to suit AU so you will have to buy the wire and all the ends seperately, and from memory they are around $3.50 each and also the clip on coil ends at $3.50 each, it all ads up...

If you can get all that for $120 no point asking here, rush put and get them.
