I fitted Bosch HT leads to my 744 and was happy with them, but the car does a LOT of miles and I'd far rather avoid any potential issues if the Bougicords are significantly better. I'll have a look at PFV!

In all fairness I'm not sure how old the Bosch ones were. But the Bourgicord did look much meatier.

Probably good policy when you buy any old secondhand car to just change them anyway.
