Brilliant work Nigel. The result looks so much better than the hosing that came with the kit. I am in awe of your attention to detail in this build plus all your other builds.
I would be tempted to build the rest of the kit , engine out - open bay. Scratch a nice engine stand .... Splendid work and the cable's are vastly better than before . Thanks Nigel . M
Wow! Those leads look absolutely 100% spot bollock on! A superb modification and an incomparable improvement over the original ' lines ' supplied by Pocher;
That is more like it. The Pocher looks ok. I did the Agora/IXO 917k. The only thing better on the Pocher is the rack/pinion steering. The Agora is much more detailed and easy to modify to a more authentic appearance. Even the color of the Pocher body is not Gulf blue. Too bright. Atleast what I've seen online. But Nigel looks on the right track for nice outcome.
Those leads look awesome. If mine turn out half as good I will be happy. As I don't have your skill and experience, I wondered if it might be a little easier to start by attaching the wires at the plug ends and working back towards the distributor. I would be grateful for your thoughts on that before I tackle this daunting stage.
Nigel, really excellent improvement of the original kit by changing over to the Cu wire HT leads. Looks so much more realistic. One question: it looked to me (but maybe it was just camera angle) like the front distributor was leaning to the left, compared to the rear distributor which appeared to be standing upright. Is this because the front distributor's mounting flange (on the actual engine) is canted left so that the distributor and leads clear the intake trumpets, or was this an artifact of the new mounting arrangement you created (drilled hole with brass wire sticking up) to handle the breakage of the original mounting pin when removing the distributor? Thanks for another highly educational "how-to" video (even though that may not be what you had intended this to be).

Beautiful work with wires, waiting to see whole car finished, great work
I have always found your ability to improve fantastic kits into even better quality builds completely unmatched. 👍👍
Wow, thanks!
Agreed, a worthwhile mod indeed! Nicely done.
Lovely build so far. Thanks 😉
Just had some good health news so will probably buy this as a treat.
Same here, which is why I got Dottie.
Lovely work. Hard to keep up with all your projects. Col
Blimey Nigel what a hell of a lump that engine is but really enjoying your build keep up the good work mate
It looks 100% better ! Nicely done 😊
Have my red wire on order and plan to try to duplicate this over Christmas!
Thats great work!!
Heat shrink over wire makes great radiator hoses also
They now look like HT leads instead of a load of Spaghetti, certainty better Nigel well worth the effort

Thanks for your comment. Yes, I am very impressed with the IXO Agora kits. They are lovely.

I guess either way will work, but make sure you drill out the caps before fitting.

Hi Tron, both distributors lean "outwards"
Thats great work!!
