I decided to try this just for kicks....been reading about it in various old threads here and there...so I gave it a go.
Stock 91 EJ22 coil pack:
It helps to have an extra manifold hanging around to take measurements from :
Here's the MSD 8239 coil next to the stock coil:
The MSD is just a little too big....two bolts line up...but not the others:
Get yourself some 3/4" wide steel...measure and drill some holes..:
Check it all for fit:
Then remove everything...and tack your bolts up so you only need one wrench to remove the coil:
Mounted up:
Now the wiring......
Your old coil must make the ultimate sacrifice:
You need a connector from a 2000 (ish) Neon...I got this one off the 'bay for around 8 bucks PN# HP3925
Make it look nice and put a little loom around it:
And only because I'm a little obsessive....or OCD...whatever ....I bought two sets of plug wires:
So that the wires came off symmetrically...
That all being said...I also did the throttle reversal mod so I had plenty of room to do straight boots on both sides.
HTH !
