The ignition on my 914 race car motor is currently a Mallory CDI box and coil with the spark running through the distributor. I'm thinking to simplify things by going to individual coil-on-plug packs on each spark plug. The fuel injection ECU can then control the ignition directly without any other intervening equipment. This is a Type IV motor with the stock cooling tin. Any recommendations out there on what brand of coil packs to use? Any suggestions on easy ways to mount them to the engine tin?

Might also add a cam sync sensor in the distributor hole rather than do wasted spark. Any advice or experience with those parts would be appreciated too.

Thank,

Andrew B.

I am running LS-2 coil packs.
Sync for coils is using "the Dub Shop" cam Sync in place of the distributor.

Give Mario a call an see what options he has. I know he has coils and brackets, wires, etc. A one stop shop.

+1 on the LS2 coils. Pretty sure they're more powerful than most COP.
