seemed like a good idea at the time...

Neat old style cloth wire and clip on connectors

But...

The plug lead boots are way too big my old Accel super coil

and the old ones will not swap as my old leads are 8.8mm

One reason for going with the new leads is that my old ones are too short reach for my relocated coil, ( that seemed a good idea at the time) and I'll need a custom length.

And those plug clips don't look like such a good idea now...

Guess new technology ain't such a bad idea.
