That looks good by my standards, functionality is more important anyway.
$24!!!! I've never seen these packs. I've used Motorcraft, BWD, and MSD brands. Of course the Motorcraft wins, but in my case the BWD's were better than the MSD's. Sometimes the "value brands" plug wires has trouble staying on the coil, they just don't fit like the Motorcrafts do. I'm interested in what you will have to say about them.Fle-ebay ignition coils
2pack for.... $24 SHIPPED!!!
After investigating ingnition coil prices.... $60ea at the part houses, $100ea for the big names performance, or $24 shipped for what you see in the pic. Browsing ebay for coils revealed a multitude of price differences leading one to believe an ignition coil manufacturer resides every 10miles down the road.
Now these coils just may very well be that "you get what you pay for" type of scenario. Well...we are gonna find out! $24 for the quality im needing and the 10miles a month i clock on the car seemed like a no brainer.
But lets think about it for a minute. Just how many companies are out there that can fit the bill for plastic injection molding machines, pay for the injection mold itself, stamps the metal for the coils to wrap around which include a press and stamping die.....not mentioning the workforce needed like laborers and skilled trades men and engineering. And then there is the coil windings and quality control....this list goes on and on.
This is what led me to think ...just how many coil companies are out there? Im sure there's only a few and market pricing keeps the consumer guessing.
I realize ford produced a crap ton of vehicles with these coils and there are still plenty on the road allowing for a good aftermarket, but really.....? .....how many companies are producing these things?
So after reading this, im sure most of you are asking the question "why not get the Coil On Plug conversion harness and use the COP"? To answer, i like the idea, but im gonna want to go stand alone engine management and really dont want to spend big coin on items i wont use when that day comes.
Ill keep you guys inform if these coils make or break my expectations.
I think I have the cherry bombs and glass packs mixed up, do they sounds like glass packs? Cause its been a minute since I've head one.The cherry bomb and loud do not go together. Personally i think it sounds like crap and prefer the straight open racecar sound.
My little local gas station just got busted for NOT selling ethanol.
