If anyone is interested in plugs-on coils...

I stopped at the local foreign auto parts store and looked through their electrical/ignition catalog to see if I could spot those neat little coils used by Power Sport.  I found two that are very similar, except for price, $185.00 vs. $40.00.  They are used on the 1996-99 Mustang 32v 4.6L. [Also Lincoln Mark VIII] The other is used in the 1999 SHO Taurus.  The only difference is that the Mustang coil has two mounting ears and the SHO Taurus doesn't.  There is also a difference in the length of the rubber boots, the Mustang boot being the shorter of the two. I bought the $40.00 one and trimmed the rubber boot and metal spring down to about 2".  I will need to fab a mounting bracket but that shouldn't be too hard.  The coil/boot weighs in at 5.0 oz./ea. or 30 oz. for the 6-pack. M. Steitle
