Andrew,
You could see what Discotech in North Van have in regards to the decaling
http://www.disco-tech.ca/
I looked for Magnacor a few years ago and ended up ordering direct from them in the US. If you look hard enough you might find something local though but I don't know where. If you are not set on Magnacor you could try a very good locally made product, Aurora in Abbotsford
http://www.auroraignitionwires.com/
You should be able to find them at some of your local jobber outlets. THey might not have stock but ordering should not be a problem.

Pretty much any automotive store has all the stuff you need.

Plug wires
Thanks for the input guys!
I went to Disco Tec the other day, as its just over the bridge and had a few questions and it was like i was speaking a differnt dilect of english.
Im finding that no one likes to fiddle with these engines witch is a shame as i used to work at a speed shop and the principles are the same.
The more air in and out the better the engine will run and ignition is another matter for improvement. There are cams available for these engines and some sweet head work can be done. I guess its what you are willing to put into the landy is what it boils down too!
Cheers
Andrew
P.S i will start taking pics of the stuff im doing to my disco

Hay there Andrew I am putting a 4.6 in my 93 rangie and through my research I have come to realise that the ECU in land rovers is very conservative and finiky about increased air flow and mixtures and stepping not to far from standard and the UCU cant keep up so here is a web site to do a little research on performancing your engine and you will find an ECU upgrade highly recomended if you port and air intake. www.rpiv8.com
