VR6 HT Leads all the same?

I am getting pretty bad sparking from the plug at the end of one of my HT Leads to the engine block (not the spark plug end). It's the lead that plugs into the top row of sockets on the coilpack closest to the front of the car. Anyway I'm pretty sure that this means I need new HT Leads.

 

So...... are all the leads sold for VR6 engines then same? I'm, told that they are all the same length it's just that the sets sold for dizzy engines have one more lead. Right?

More likely means you've got a broken coil pack actually ..

Look for splits in the casing.

If you do have a lead problem then the dizzy leads are similar to the CP ones, just a little longer. There's very little price difference between the early and late lead sets, but the late ones apparently have stronger "ends", so you pays your money ..

I've just had the rocker cover gasket replaced last weekend. It was running fine before. Picked up the car up on Monday and its misfiring all the time. Not intermittent at all. The spark is only on one socket on the coil pack but is all around that socket, it doesnt seem to stick to one place which would indicate a crack.

 

Still the coilpack?

Dunno, I've not looked at it closely to see if there's a crack ..

Try unplugging the lead completely. If it still sparks it can't be the lead, can it?
