best coil pack?

Anybody want to give me their opinion on the best kind of coil packs to buy? I have done a search & all i really see is how to change them or find out which one is bad. I found some on ebay for about 100 bucks for the set, & auto parts stores want about $30-90 for just one. By the way this is on a 90 expy. 5.4.

Is that the DG-508 from Global ? IMHO as good as it gets. Of course,you can blow a wad of $$ & buy Granetelli's or whatever. If you are stock,stock cops & boots should be enough. Use the dielectric grease in the boots,though.

Welcome to the Forums. I just recently replaced mine with MSD coil packs, and they were close to Ford cost. Accell also make a coil pack. Google them.

I have a set of Accel coils installed on my 97 expy, there is about 10,000 miles on'em, there are no issues so far. Three of the orginal coils had cracks in the gel tops so I decided to switch them all out on my latest spark plug change. Way cheaper than buying the ford coils.

The Accel coils are only about $29 each at summit racing. I'll probably go that route when they start failing.
