Do  you know the weight of the GM coils.  If there is a

significant

difference,  I will change if Tracy can be talked into
making the requisite modification to  the controller.

My six coils, with the mount weigh 4.5 lbs (pic attached).
I'll

guess

the
mount wieghs about the same as a 12 oz bottle of beer - maybe
a

couple

less - so the coils are about 10 oz each.

BTW; I still have a couple of these mounts if anyone is
interested.

The Mazda coils weigh  5 lbs each, not including brackets.
Switching to the GM coils will save 7.5 lbs!!!        Jerry

5 lbs each?  Is that possible?

BTW, I got the weight of the coils and brackets by getting on the
digital bathroom scale holding the coils; and subtracting the wieght
of me not holding the coils.  Not precise, but good enough for the
purposes.

My UPS scale and my digital fish scale agree that the Mazda coils
(with mounts)
weigh 4 lb 9 oz and 2 lb 11 oz respectively.  Total is 7 lb 4 oz.

I only weighed one.  Forgot that they were different.  Jerry
