My 2 cents, you can't convince me there is a difference. Even if there is the OEM's cost so much you can by many many of the aftermarkets before you'd be near the price of one OEM COP.

Wink

is 49.99 a set of 8 or just (1 C.O.P)????

cuz aftermarket can go as little as $90 a set of 8 C.O.P'S NO name brand
But compared to OEM $60 a piece 60x8= $480 id rather go with aftermarket

Now going between paying $480 for OEM id rather spend those $480 on PERFORMANCE MSD or ACCEL AFTERMARKET COPS

I just paid 36.00 for one at car quest. Would have bought the set on ebay for 75.00 but needed to get it up and running today.

I think some one said 75.00 for all 8 on ebay.

I think ebay is up to $90 for a set and as much as $120. I bought all 8 off there a while back for around $100 and they are all doing fine.

I bought all 8 of mine on Ebay for $90 + $15 shipping. They were Motocraft whe they arrived. You can tell by the casting marks and etched in codes. They just came in plain white boxes with no stickers. I bought 3 sets. One set for the Expedition, One set for a friend's F150 and a set for the Escape. All are running great with 5k+ miles since the change.

that's a steal

And Ford wonders why Toyota Is number one.

They make there parts available to aftermarket and cheeper then the dealer can buy it for, and then customers think we the dealer body are a bunch of rip offs.

Man it's tuff to compete against your own suppiler!

Thanks Ford

I got the accel off ebay for about $225 for the set of 8 - they seem to run great and I would suspect if they were bad they would have been bad out of the box. I'm looking forward to a good 100k on these!

Can any of you guys provide a link to the Ebay deals like this one? I have also seen a post where some guy got all 8 injectors for cheap, but they were overhauled/tested, not new. Anyway, links would help. Thanks.

Simply search Ford Coil then sort highest price first and find the $100 areas and there should always be some sets.
