just installed the piranha ignition kit, makes a world of difference to the dirty old points she had in her.

now its time for plugs, leads n maybe coil...

any recomendations or more importantly stuff I should steer away from?

Its an '88 swb GQ on gas

i have never had much luck with the top gun leads , i find they get water into them pretty easy and stuff up

havent had any probs using NGK plugs except every time i try to buy the iridiums noone ever seems to have a full set in stock

NGK PB6ES plugs at factory gaps and either ICE leads or Performance Ignition Services leads when you pick up an extended rotor button from them. They too will tell you, a standard Bosch coil will do. Maybe a GT40RT. R is for resistor which you have and T is for transistor which is the little epoxy type of coil. Leave timing at 10deg unless you have it regraphed.

Do the extended rotor buttons actually make a difference or not?
If so what differences are made?

Here we go again. Best to do a search for it here. There is a bit of a debate about it. Ring the manufacturer and speak to them. Performance Ignition Services in Nunawading 03 98723644.

I'm not going to continue the debate, but try it for yourself, dont listen to anyone else, that way you can make an unbias opinion as to its worth.

thanks for the advice, went the NGK PB6ES, just shitty 8mm top gun leads cause thats all that was around me had and the bosch GT40RT coil, and its a totally new car rev's and decelerates and lot free'er and smoother. also seems to shift a lil smoother too

Thanks for the advice

As a matter of interest though, I've just removed my electronic ignition and put the points back in. Now all I've got is good leads and the extended rotor button. Goes just the same, but better pre leads and button. I can't judge any one thing as I did it all at once. Will go HEI in near future though.

With LPG based patrols, the Electric ignition is the way to go, no matter what i did, new points, plugs, button, condensor, as soon as the points wore down even slightly, gas played up, witht he electric system, timing is constant.
