Trevor:
The distributors are the basically the same. The reason for the longer
plug wires on a PI engine is that the distributor sits higher. The PI
metering unit is driven off of a gear on a special distributor shaft that
connects to the cam. The distibutor shaft then slide into the top of the
metering unit shaft.
I too learned the hard way about different length plug wires. Do you still
have the longer wires? I could use a set.

This would explain why the plug leads that I bought for my carb TR6 were
too long.
But why the difference? The spark plugs are in the same place and the
distributor must be very similar.
