   I changed my spark plugs over today.
   I Bought them and they was correctly gapped. I swapped them over as you normaly would, One at a time.. (leads are already numbered)
   Put all the leads on etc. Started it..
   
   No Power to the car and a realy bad missfire.
   So i put the old plugs back in, to see if made any difference. Nothing. Still the same.
   
   ive checked the plugs for spark.. They all spark.
   
   Any ideas?

   Check that when you took off the HT leads you didn`t leave part of the lead IE the metal sleeve on the old plug.Mine was doing this and someone had done this.
