Hi all.
I wanted to start a new thread on this one, just in case it gets lost amongst the other threads, so have a look at part 1:
[url=http://www.hipomustang.com/hpmx/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=6324&SearchTerms=ignition,coil]Yellow Top Part 1[/url]
Here's my second report regarding new repro yellow top coils:
Well, I had the second drive with my new repro yellow top coil which I bought here in Australia, but came from VA Mustang and the kar has once again died on me in heavy traffic <img src=images/icon_smile_angry.gif border=0 align=middle>. I had heard bad reports about repro coils, so I kept an original second hand yellow top coil in the boot (trunk). I swapped them over and what do you know, the kar started straight away and sounded like it's supposed to sound. I had noticed before the kar died that from take of in 1st, the revs struggled and only got worse. With the other coil, it was idling smoothly and taking off easily.
Either I got a dud, or these new repros aren't any better than the previous ones.
I think from here on in, I will only use the yellow tops if I'm showing the kar.
Has anyone else had problems with repro yellow tops?
Regards,
René
