Default What coil is everybody using?
I was wondering what coils people use, how they like them, what voltages they run.

ORIGINAL: tchamber

I was just looking at coils, and there are a lot of options. They all have 40k-48k V, and different spark durations, different primary and secondary resistances, and different peak currents. What makes one better than another? TIA.
Put up a post asking what coils everyone is using. How do they like them. That's the easiest way. I have a Crane fireball ps91. Works great and haven't had any problems. The question you posted is a little too technical and prolly the reason there have been no responses. Just a suggestion. Good luck.

I use an Accel remote mount super coil. Works great for me on my 88GT. I bumped my timing up to 12*-13* too.
