I set initial timing to 12 deg with total advance around 38 deg. Good power and no pinging. I also opened up the spark plug gap to .045.

I like that the coil isn't some great big rectangular block of red plastic. It almost has a stock appearance to it other than possibly no yellow top. Haha
Thanks for the feedback - We are sure getting unseasonably warm weather up here this winter. Hope it's not too bad where you are down there. The rest of the country is an ice blanket....

Yes, the coil fits in the stock location with the stock bracket and performs well. A high of 71 today with no rain in sight, that's California living. I have always wanted to take a driving trip to the Northwest. I have only been as far as Eugene. Now, I only have to convince the wife to spend that much time with me in the car.

I used the Igniter I with stock coil , I did have to retard the timing as in higher rpms there was pinging. Still using stock plugs with stock gap have not tried to increase gap to 45, anyone use NGKs? what do you think?
