I bought a new set of coils for my '87 D100 and it seems to me there were several optional coils that would fit the truck. 1986 Dodge Ramcharger 440 2wd, Bracket Racer Under Construction 1998 Ram 2500 QuadCab, new daily driver. 2008 Honda Element 2014 Carry-On 7x14 Cargo Trailer

I love those trucks, but bone stock, they just don't look right to me nowadays. But when I was 6 years old when they came out, who cares...they were the greatest thing to me next to a black 78 Trans Am and orange '69 Charger. Outcast Dodge guy.
