Had a Falcon AU a while back which developed a miss. Took the "easy" way, and fitted a new set of plug leads. That fixed the miss, but the plug
leads were more difficult to fit than I thought!

sorry I should have been clearer. I am in Darwin trying to drive back to Sydney. Its a 4.0 litre el falcon 98. Its had a new head and gasket and new
plugs and a coil pack. I thought it was a distributor rather than a coil packl. So I am confused. Which looks really hard to get at. Leads look new
too.
I am thinking of either a repco place here or ford. But not too keen on main dealer prices. Just need some decent honest advice
thanks for the replies

As I said before, replacing the plug leads cured the miss in my Falcon. The old ones looked "new", but were no good!

Glad you fixed the Ford (another 4-letter-word starting with F). They are a real BASTARD to fit, eh? Looking forward to the beer!
