EFI Coil question
Does anyone know, is there any drawback or limiting factors that would stop someone from converting to a standard style coil like the one in the link:

The square style coil is kind of a bitch to mount on the edelbrock monifold. Aftermarket Valve covers are also making it rather dificult. I welded together a larger foot print to mount it to the 2 forward bolts on the upper plenum but it really is ugly as hell. If a coil is a coil is a coil, I think I would rather convert to a cylinder style one for easier mounting.

IIRC If you're running Duraspark the primary resistance of the coil should be 1.4 ohms, and since the primary resistance of the coil you posted is 0.8 you'd need to run an extra resistor what that particular coil.
Also, the instructions for that coil recommends the coil be mounted vertically, not horizontally.
These canister coils are oil filled and I just replaced one that was leaking...

I do appreciate the input gents, think I found my solution. I had to swap to a sanden style AC compressor to run the march pulleys. I had to replace the compressor anyhow because it was ceased. BC Broncos
