I found this on the bird board, this guys has a 911 motor with custom valve covers to accept a coil on plug set-up. Brad and I thought about this for my motor, but figure that the Electromotive set-up would be good. What do you think guys...adapable to a type-4 engine with the Kit Carlson FI?

I *thought* the last air cooled engines had COP.

The wet engine was the first for COP in 98.

I was going to do coil-on-plug on my 911, I decided against it because machining the valve cover was just another obstacle preventing me from getting the car on the track, so I went with coil packs.
It can be done if your timeframe allow why not try it? makes for a really tidy wiring harness , and no plug wires. I think I found that the ignitor is built into the coil, so if the kit carlson controls coil dwell then you could be good to go. |

Kit's system is wasted spark so it's gonna fire the coil twice in each 4 stoke cycle. That might be a problem at high RPMs
