vl leads
hey just got a quick question. i did a bit of work on my vl yesterday, just a few things that involved replacing the rocker cover and putting alloy intake pipes on. all went well except when it came to reconnecting the spark leads i mixed the back 3 cylinders up... and cant seem to find anywhere that will tell me the right order... help?

I'm pretty sure it's: 1-5-3-6-2-4.

You can't leave these hoses off, it's all part of the vacuum system that keeps the engine running properly.
The air that's going in to the engine has been measured by the air flow meter directly after the air filter box.
If you leave a hose off between the air flow meter, and the intake manifold, you're changing the amount of measured air that the computer thinks is being drawn in.
This is why it wont idle.

the rubber hose from half way up the intake piping to the AAC (Auxillery Air Control) valve needs to be on or such will happen above,,
the 2 pipes on the rocker cover (the breathers) this is a flow to the Plenum chamber(Front 1) as this controls Blowby Gasses to be burnt and passed through the Cat
so i would plumb these 2 pipes to a catch can instead this will minimise the oil getting in your intake runners and slowly clogging up your intake.
As for your leads just look at your Dizzy cup they are labled next to the posts... while looking at engine front Cylinder is 1-2-3-4-5-6 (firewall) inline is the order. firing ofder is 1-5-3-6-2-4
thanks heaps guys it took a whole 10 ins to fix. il post some picks too, it looks great!
