rave is a cd with the landrover workshop manuals on. it's what the LR stealers use and can be found by doing a search on here for "green oval Rave cd"

There are TWO critical things to get right when chaging HT leads.

1. it is absolutely essential to get the NUMBER ONE LEAD in the correct hole in the distributor cap.


2. it is absolutely esential to get the remaining 7 leads in their correct FIRING ORDER into the correct holes in the cap. Make sure you know which way they go, clockwise or anti-clockwise.

Let's assume you didn't move the ignition timing .....
