A question on the difference between 8 and 16 valves....
I am looking at HT leads and coils. New coils for 8 valve are expensive....new coils for 16 valve are very much cheaper.
So, is it possible to swap out the HT leads, coils and plugs from an 8 valve and fit the 16 valve coils and leads?
I do have a spare coil set but looking at alternatives.
