Coil Stuff
So it's that time of year for tune ups, at least for me. Just replaced the valvepan gasket re painted the cover and the airfilter can. So i have a question.
I want to put in a new hi-po coil for more power maybe, better efficiency. I was thinking about getting a flame thrower II. Do i need anything else to go along with it or is it a pop in pop out type deal?
If you guys have used another brand that is better please explain why. I don't know much about them yet.

A hotter plug may help reduce deposits but unfortunately deposits come with age...
The standard OEM DS-II system works better than aftermarket stuff except for high RPM racing applications. Make sure you have a Motorcraft ignition module and mount it with 1/4" spacers to allow air to cool the underside of the module.

if youre talking about a 1979 (just a guess from the name) then factory it would have come with the duraspark 2- which as said is a good reliable ignition that only flakes out over about 5500 rpm. what part number is the plug youre using?
