    Go take your dizzy and leads to someone to make to some. I had a place here in Melbourne make mine as it is hard to find aftermarket replacements. Look up a company near you that sell Magnacore ignition leads and they will be able to make you a set.

    Good luck

    just check the leads resistance is consistent, why replace them if theres nothing wrong with them? just wasting money. on a mild motor such as a 1g, it really isnt that greater benefit going to a massive lead, the stock ones work fine.

    I dis-agree. My stock ones, (I have several sets) sucked arse in comparison to what is available.

    That said, if you want reasonable ones, I have a set I can sell/send you...

    the 7MGE leads ~look~ identical.

    maybe you could investigate that. many of the MA70's had 7mge's so you shouldnt have as hard time finding them.

    I Got a set of ngk ones from US ebay for Less than $50 the only difference i could see was that the moulded part that goes into the spark plug gallery was slightly shorter, but they fitted ok.

    If the plug tubes for the 7MGE are anything like the 7MGTE ones they are unlikely to be long enough to fit.
