Where can I get the new coil packs @ 25 bux each ?
#26
I came out of work today and the weather has been pretty nice the past few days, like in the upper 30s-lower40s, and the previously mentioned steady CEL was no longer illuminated. The high rpm misfires were still present and, as Team says, the CEL is no indicator of coil performance. I got a low mileage set from another forum member in the mail today so I put them on. The 8-9K misfire is still there, but not as bad, and the rest of the engne's performance is much improved. My old coils have gray spots on the bottom of them which I am to understand is a sign of arcing. Whatever......I still have some feelers out with different electronics companies to see who wants to build some new H.O. coils for the 8.

I have all 4 brand new Coil pack sitting next to me now. cost me like a bit over 110 shipped to my door.
Im just gonna try what Team said and get some good wires.
Oh Hey Team, where you got yours from ? Im thinking of the Racing Beat ones.

Thanks, lab. Team and I were talking about that the other day. I would like to try and come up with something I can offer for much less than that and perhaps from a company that has a more well-known track record. I am contacting the company that makes the coils for the CART series cars. A friend of mine builds and dynos those engines and he gave me some leads.

Damn, I was trying to take the whole coil pack out but I just cant the bolts are too tight.
God damn it, I need to buy some deep sockets so I can remove them easier
Oh one more thing. I pull the socket out of the coil, do I just push it all the way in and it will be tight right ?

Dang, I just took it out today, crap it has burnt marks on the back of the coil and the metal rack.
Tried a 20 mile run and the car pulls much harder. I guess I've made the *right* choice. :D
<---- Old Coil packs.
Gonna order some RB Plug wires, and install it next week or so.

That's certainly a decision to be made isn't it; either bolt-on some supposedly upgraded factory coils at $600-$700 a set or go through the hassle of buying and wiring in an external ignition amp. Unless they are totally different concepts and I am missing the point completely.....? What do you think of the comparison I have made?

@ that kind of price, If I wanna go, I would go like the way MM did, go for AEM or something.
but I think my new coils should be fine for a *long* while now. I'll take it out again in maybe another 26K miles and see if Im getting the same *burnt* mark. Im gonna keep my old one so I can compare them later.

sorry guys, I was thinking of ignition coils from RB, not coil packs. Speaking of which, should I change out the coil packs at the same time as the wires?
