Default Sourcing V8 leads?

Hi guys, after reading just about every thread im still no closer to sourcing some leads. Ive contacted QIL, but at $250 a set im sure there is a cheaper option. Forget top gun, are the bosch/eagle equivalent just as good and where does one one find them? Spark plugs and MSD coilpacks ordered.

thanks

Be prepared to pay for quality. I run ICE leads and they are also close to that price. But I have not had experience with Eagle.

used to be a bloke in frankston victoria that handmade them, they were excellent leads, but unfortunantly he retired and shut up shop!

Hopefully something comes your way!

It's the special snap on fittings for the coil packs. You could try a set for the older V8s, and use the factory clips for the coil packs though.

I have ordered Coils and Leads from the US.

You can get DUI Live Wires fro the Explorer 5.0 with EDIS for $129 + $99 for a set of their Performance Coils.

The Coils are listed as Mustang 4.6 Coils, But they are recommended for the 5.0 Explorer as well.
