    Ignition Refresh

    Alrighty. Looks like I'm going to be upgrading my ignition system in the near future. I'm more than likely going to end up replacing the coils, plugs, plug wires, and the ignition module. I was thinking Dyna S. Which coils do I need to pick up? Suppression core wires? Or copper core? How's about plug wire caps? Thanks in advance for any help you folks can render!

    You will need the green coils (3 ohm).

    Doesn't really matter if you use solid or suppressor wires, but your choice will affect which caps you need.
    There needs to be some suppression, whether it's in the wires or the caps is your choice.
    (Stock setup is solid wires and suppressor caps, if that makes any difference.)

      New coils , dyna and wires wont be worth a hoot if the voltage to the coils is not up to snuff.

        Guess I'll go with suppression. Found some nice yellow wires, only available in suppression. Seems less painful overall. Should I snag a plug wire crimper while I'm at it, or will the assorted collection of pliers and clenching devices suffice? It's been a while since I've made a set for a car.
