I am planning on doing this conversion once I get around to reinstalling the engine in my Duster. However, while at Summit the other day (I live nearby), I was looking at the e-core coils. The aftermarket e-core coils are a great deal larger than the stock GM e-core coils. Can these be used in place of the stock GM coil, and if so, does anybody have any ideas on mounting the coil to an Air Gap intake? TIA

TIA Are you sure you weren't looking at the cap mount coils? those coils are VERY much larger, but not any more powerful, and are not designed to be mounted independently. There are a number of MSD e-core coils available if you are considering after-market options. You still use the GM coil bracket, or simply make you own. Just remember that different coil styles are going to need different coil-to-distributor wires.

I was really hoping to mount the coil on the manifold where the canister-type coil would mount. I suppose I could fabricate a mount. They seemed quite large. Where did you get your hands on that thermal paste?

I had confiscated it from a friend who installed an accell module in his chebby without using it ( several days later he acted shocked and confused when his module went on an unexpected strike)
