I know this may be useless info for you but here it is anyways. Try going to
www.car-part.com. not sure if there as "s" at the end of part, but I know you can get a great deal on factory products. I do have the MSD, but I havebt decided if I was going to part with them yet. i havebt even put them on the car.

Thanks.. I will try that..

I currently have the MSD coils.. and.. if you haven't installed them yet.. don't.. get rid of them... they do pretty much nothing, and mine rusted (could be another problem, but.. previous ones seemed to last a lot longer..)

And if you have installed them.. I hope you have better luck with them.. than I did.

Stick with OM coils. GM didn't play around with them. They are more than enough. MSD et al coils are just bling bling.

What do you mean by previous ones. I bought mine about 6 months ago. Another thing just to gove you a rough idea. I bought a PCM form car-part.com for $75. Looked like knew. Its basically an on line stock net. You can pick where you want to buy from and negotiate. I think its worth it> I also bought a 100% min rear left tail light for $70 on there

coil packs and plugs for our cars I would stay stock.........


PRJs are next best I think because you can remove then on and off a million times


BTW, how much do new coil packs cost?

John-

You may want to hit up gtpkid2004 I think that he has 3 MSD coil packs laying around. He replaced them with new stockers because one of them shot craps on him as well. He maybe able to hook you up with one while you limp along

I lucked out and got a REALLY good deal on some factory new "take-offs" on eBay. I guess they were removed from motors that were never fired up, or something to that nature. The coil pack and ICM were bolted together, and were attached to the bracket where they mount on the engine, still. Got 2 sets for dirt cheap. I should have the removed ones laying around in my TSTE trunk, I believe, as I've replaced the ones on that car already. I don't think there was anything wrong at all with the old ones, but I'm changing EVERYTHING regardless. If I can find them, they're yours. I have no need for them.

John,

You might want to get ahold of snoop. He might have these laying around and he is pretty close to you (Maywood/Bellwood area)...

Good luck,

Joel

one of my msd coils has a rusty stud but I have seen it with the stock ones too. Two of my friends with gtp's have the first stud on the second coil down rusted and so do I they have stock and I have msd I don't know why they would all be the same, and I cover all the studs with dielectric grese.
