1.7 leads

How many times have you ended up with 400series ignition leads instead of 340 1.7 ones?
It is one of those things that bugs me so here is the correct Bosch part no

Bosch - RBUS 18

Speaking of which, a quick question, should the lead have a 90degree bend at one end and the plugs on the cap be straight or should the plugs on the cap come out at a 90degree angle and the leads be straight???

As my blueline has 90dgree leads and a striaght cap but my grandads 1.7 has the other way round!!
Which is correct? If anyone understands that that is????

OEM = both straight ....

(the dizzy cap connections are at 90 degs. from camshaft)

Yep these are the correct st both ends, the coil lead is angled.
The 400 ones are the ones with 90deg angle and fit poorly.
