While 21st century technology is applied to most
aspects of the automotive spare parts industry there are certain
components that have not benefited by change-a typical example
being high-tension (H.T.) cables. The vast majority of owners
of older cars fitted with carburettors along with a basic form
of distributor and coil ignition system prefer to use high-tension
spark plug cables with a copper insert because, quite frankly,
they work better! Modern cables, with a silicon insert, are
intended for cars with computerised technology and not for the
older ignition systems.
 In
the 1960s Alfa Romeo used a green coloured set of spark plug
leads with a copper centre core. A black over-sleeve secured
the leads together to provide a clean under bonnet area. Alfas
racing heritage was apparent in the manner with which the leads
were secured--- a small clamp (on cars not fitted with a screw-in
thermostat) attached them to one of the studs holding the thermostat
cover. These green leads, with a copper core, not only worked
well but they looked good and nowadays epitomise Alfas built
in 1960s, 1970s and early 80s.

 Semi-modern
Alfas
For semi-modern Alfas such as the 75 Twin Spark,
75 3.0, 164-early cars only and SZ ES-30 we have the original
style leads which come as a full harness with caps covers and
rubbers. For the 75 TS we also have separate ROTORS for the
pair of distributors. All these are as original except for one
small difference---they are much cheaper-in most cases better
than half original price.
Ignition-if you are changing spark plug leads
we have a full selection of distributor caps, rotors and contact
sets. Wherever you are in the world please don't feel isolation
you are only an email away from obtaining Alfa parts at prices
you can afford!
