Ignition coil question
 

Is there supposed to be a large washer on each bolt between the ignition coil and the coil bracket? Just wondering why mine has them and I haven't seen them on others

Depends on the manufacturer. Mine has spacers

You talking about the metal ring on the coil?

Not the built in metal sleeve that you are referring to... but they do sit right there. This is not my engine bay this is someone else's

they are probably close to 1" in diameter physically sitting on top of the coil bracket ....

I have BWD coils now, brand new 0 miles on them. They did have Napol Performance coils...
