$36 Replacement ignition coils?

Say it aint so! Well it is indeed so. In fact, these coils pump more volts with a longer spark duration than our stock ignition coils to boot!
One catch.. A little bit of fabrication work will be needed. But its nothing the average wrench cant do!

My SVX had the much hated, and apparently never truly solved in the forums, hiccup in the ignition.
Parts upon parts later. I was testing one of the coilpacks for spark by plugging in a spark plug and grounding the plug while running the engine to check for spark. While holding the coil, it shocked the bageezus out of me. Cripes! A bad coil!
Seeing how expensive they were, i began to track down an alternative.
And here it is!

The summit racing street and strip coil.

These can be remote mounted away from engine heat and vibration. More voltage, longer spark and 8k max rpm.

For spark plug wires, just a simple universal ACCEL kit. # 5040B
Perfect fit.





And with a little luck and relocation / removal of non-vital components, it will look a little something like this




Install is simple. Cut the two leads to the existing coilpacks, and use the supplied fittings to bolt them to the new coil. You just need to know which wire is + and -.

The spark energy by these coils is astounding! During tests,The spark jumped from the plug 9" to ground. o.O
