there individual coils. instead of having one coil in a dist with four wires runnin off one coil you have four individual coils runnin each plug

Good luck on using coil packs on anything other than a 7th gen. You could just sell your '95 vic and get a 7th gen though. They're great. Everyone loves them...

well i think it might be possible, i know that means a lot of work but it can be done, probably where i see the biggest issue is when it comes down to the timing, since the coil packs, apparently the work individually, how will set the timing if they not gonna use the distributor??? i might right??

it has to be timed in the ecu i believe!

hahahahahaha. i am sorry this is completly off topic but ^^^^^his avatar is funny as hell.
but yea those are coil packs. anything is possible so i am sure it can be done. its not going to be cheap. if you really wanted coil packs i guess you could just swap the d17 out of 7th gen in, i would prolly be cheaper that way.

Making it look like something its not?? Thats kind of stupid.. Why wouldnt you put your time into something that will improve your performance. Or the way it handles? Just sounds a little dumb to me.

I can give the man credit for doing something different, but it's a no gains mod, just for shits and giggles and some people (me included) don't see the point in that.
Don (SOHCinWA) has had ideas, but he's interested in innovative ideas that actually have gains, ideas on how to get more power, on how to get that power to the wheels better, but not ideas on how to make your engine bay cooler. Ricers like those ideas though.

hey for those who support me thanks!!!! i know that my little idea is not innovative as (SOHCinWA) ideas might be, but hey im just trying to do something different here,it may not give me tons of power but it'll be something different, thanks thought!!
