Someone will know or more to the point recommend the shape of the Ignition lead cap ends which fit to the spark plugs.

Are they suppose to be straight which seem to bring them near the exhaust manifold or angled to direct them away ?

I'm 'straight' presently but may go 'bent' if you get my drift [:I]
The ones on a Stag Engine look ok.

Time to change mine when I fit electronic ignition ( yes still on points)

I am using straight ones, but the plugs are angled toward eachother and do get in the way. Next time... angled for me.

Originally they were at a 90 degree angle and pointed straight up.
