Spark!

1
G'day everyone
does anyone know / why the reason the spark plug metal shroud shorts out (sparks) on metal base of spark plug?? i have replaced with new HT Leads , plugs appeared to look ok? maybe a gap issue? or the affected 2 & 3 plugs due for replacement??? i did however notice previous owner had replaced plugs with muli-electrode plug Bosch not sure of serial?
Regards
Richard Nicholls.

Are they the right leads?

Richard,

The spark impulse from the HT lead is getting to the shroud instead of the centre terminal of the plug.  There appears to be something not Kosher about the leads.
