Re: ignition system

Stock Ford COP ignition is multispark. Plus, you won't need any upgrades until you max out the ignition, usually when you add a blower. Remember, each coil is like 20,000V w/ no plug wires to connect to the sprak plug so 0Ω resistance. However, if you want a boost, MSD makes boxes and coils and Accel also makes coils. Just stay far, far away from Granatelli.

Re: ignition system

Just like the fuss over Granatelli coils in the magazines. It helps you out when your car has been modded a fair bit but if you don't have much done, then $200+ for at most 10 hp isn't worth it in my book. I rather save my money for cams, heads, brakes, or suspension components.
