...this is now getting very silly....

received my leads back from Magnecor today...fully repaired....with 4 new ends - at a cost of £25!!...anyway...
I fitted them this afternoon..guess what?...MISFIRE!!!!
so i went through the usual routine of replacing each lead in turn till the misfire went away.....this time it was lead #4!.....so replaced it with the one that i have been using for the past 5 weeks, went for a drive - everything fine.
Decided i would send the 'repaired set' back to Magnecor so took them off and put back on the replacement set that i have on without a hitch for the past 5 weeks....guess what? MISFIRE!!!!

how the hell can that happen?????!!!! -

unless i really screwed up and put the wrong lead on the wrong outlet of the dizzy cap!...but then would the car run?.....it does tickover and it drives - its just a bit lumpy at low revs.

gonna replace the plugs with my spare set in the morning...

any ideas?
