Last weekend, I installed a new Bosch coil from PP and some Clewett wires. This one:
http://www.pelicanparts.com/cgi-bin/smart/...221-119-027-M14 However, the diameter of this coil is too small for the stock mounting bracket. I ended up shimming the bracket with some weatherstripping type stuff for a snug/tight fit. Is that all that can be done for mounting in the stock location? A bummer on the fit/finish, but one thing for sure is that my 2.0L with Pertronix is idling and running much smoother now (per my seat of the pants measurements). The idle is 100% smoother for sure with no "lumpiness". It could be related to the fact that the old spark plug wires were "solid core" and the new are "spiral core". I had read that "solid core" could have EMI issues when run with an electronic ignition. |
