Hi.
Does the side entry plug cap for the 25D4 distributor use push in or screw in leads?
If push in, is it best to use copper core ht lead & make your own and should the plug caps be suppressed/resistor or not?
Thanks.

It's a screw terminal (not a screw-in). Inside the cap are screws. Undo the screw, push in the led from outside, tighten the screw to engage with the lead; very similar to wiring a household plug. The lead has no terminal on the end, just a clean cut. Copper leads are best. From your handle, it suggests that you have a 1967 car which would normally have the top entry cap with push in leads.

Thankyou. I actually have a 1966 car (my previous was 1967 & it didn't seem worth changing my username). Mine does have the top entry distributor but it's seen better days so I've bought a nos earlier 25d4 but it has side entry leads & a screw on vacuum pipe where mine has the rubber pipe.
