I need to replace my ignition coil. Which one of these would you recommend. The coils found on www.summitracing.com or http://www.jcwhitney.com/autoparts/...0000219038/Pr-p_CATENTRY_ID:100000219038 or should I go with the OEM coil. I was going to go with OEM, but the first two seem like an upgrade. A second opinion would be highlly appreciated. Acoording to the repair manual, these are the OEM ignition coil specs: oil filled primary resistance 1.2 ohms secondary resistance 17.0 K-ohms external resistor resistance 1.35 ohms

I used an Accell(sp) from Summit. Be carefull of the more powerfull MSD coils. Too powerfull a coil and it blows holes in your spark plug wires. You could also try their copper electrode dizy cap and roter.
I recommend an upgrade but be carefull not to go too far.

I'm running an Accel Superstock in nifty yellow in the turbo Raider 2.6, and it's plenty. I mistrust jcwhitneyjunk.

I purchased a Superstock and it was crap right out of the box. I chased imaginary grimlins for weeks only to discover later the brand new coil was bad. No refund either which served to further piss me off.
...but I digress. I put on an MSD Blaster II and have been very pleased.

Make sure your distriburtor isn't on its way out one guy here in az had his fail on the trail it was shorting back and burned up his coil(oil leaking everywhere from coil) after replacing the coil and balist we then found it was his dizzy. a smoking balist is also a good sign of this. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />
