Hey Travlnman

Did you ever have any luck finding a hi-po coil pack for the 4.2?

Rich

Sorry Rich, no luck at all. I did however come across a complete ignition system, made by Jacobs I think, that would work, but it ain't cheap. I haven't given up, I still look from time to time, and if I find it , I'll start a new thread and let everyone know.

There is no need for a high performance ignition system on our truck unless you are pushing way past 400rwhp, and that is just a prediction. Just make sure your coil pack is in spec, you have good wires, and good plugs gapped at .032 for blower/nos, .060 NA.

Thanks Travlnman. I remembered you mentioning looking for one in a thread several months ago.

What are the specs for primary and secondary resistances? If you go by Haynes, mine is bad. So are the new parts on the shelves.

I don't plan to use the Haynes specs, 'cause too many people have shown bad coils that were working perfectly, mine included. Just like anything else, they have to get tired after a while, or they would not sell replacement units. With 154k on my '02, I tend to be proactive in my maintenance. If I was gonna buy a replacement, I was just curious about the availability of a hi-po aftermarket unit. They are available for the COP , and the 2-four plug packs for v-8's, but no v-6.
