Coil Packs
I've noticed some odd coughs now and again, not put down to anything in particular.
Having already replaced the ignition leads which improved matters 99%, really there 
was only one thing to try next which were the coil packs.
 
The ignition coil pack assembly consists of 3 seperate coils (1 coil to drive 2 cyl) mounted 
on a plastic frame which incorporates the electrical connector sockets and some circuitry,
this in turn is bolted to aluminium mounting plate. The whole assembly is then hung under the 
inlet manifold.

Finished assembly with lead numbers engraved for easy identification.  

 

Test run was trip to annual meeting at Duxford, on one of the hottest days for a long 
time, temperatures recorded at about 35degF. A round trip of about 200 miles the 
drive was faultless, engine felt really strong.I was'nt expecting for a performance 
improvement, but it certainly felt like it ! A good move ahead of some turbo work soon.
