MG TD TF 1500 - HT lead layout

I think there was a fairly recent post where someone mentioned that by orientating the distributor in a certain way the HT leads would fan out neatly without crossing.

Enclosed is a picture of my distributor.

Is there a neater layout?

Regards

That was me. Flat side forward with #1 lead at lower left corner yields a neat layout, but no better than yours. Of course, someone pointed out that the leads can be placed anywhere as long as the correct order is followed.

Great thanks Lew

I will play around with it

Best wishes

Rats. I still have one crossing. Oh well :-(

Just curious - what are those bumps on the tappit cover?
Thanks.

Those are vents. For some reason many of the aluminum side covers had them.
Chris Couper

if there is no vent tube fitting you have to vent somewhere...the aluminum tappet covers deleted the fume tube and vented with the fittings seen in the first photo. regards, tom
