I have never cared for the coil mount on the 8ba cylinder head, I feel it's clunky and crowded. I just finished building a new engine for my f1, (maiden voyage was sunday actually). Anyhow, I fabricated a new coil mount that attaches to the inner fender, to clean up the cylinder head area. I have one of your distributors in my engine, the lead was not long enough to reach my new coil mounting position. Since I did not know any better until I saw this, I cut and spliced the lead and covered it with asphalt wire cover. I'm happy to get a new bosch blue coil, but my question is, do I need to replace the lead with a longer one of the same type, or different gage as the length is different? Also if I use the bosch blue, do I need to remove anything from the distributor?(resistor?)

Thanks.
Matt.
