Re: Dizzy heat shield thingy
Except if your radio gets interference!
Cos its not a heat shield, it's there to prevent electrical interference to the radio, due to the increased power as compared to a standard ignition system. Hence the reason it is earthed.
No idea how it makes it harder to fit HT leads?

Re: Dizzy heat shield thingy
It's also to do with the spark plugs....
The older style plug didnt have resistors fitted in them.
