advice on these coils

[Mr.Duff99V8SHO]

hey SHO owners... Just wondering if anyone has any advice on these coils i found on ebay... The same person is selling motorcraft for 20 dollars more and wondering if i should just go that route.. advanced auto by me wants 94 a piece... awhile ago i got coils from them for like 60 but that was quite some time ago...any input would be nice, thanks guys...

I don't think you can link to ebay, but I think others have bought them and had success. I have bought 3 AutoZone coils for about $80 this past year. Only 1 original left.

I bought 8 off them a while back. Super fast service, parts work like a champ - no complaints.

I have a set of 8 running mine.

They came packaged great and the guy was nice to work with.

thanks guys.. 50 compared to 94 is nice....

Buy the set of 8 that he also offers, I just bought a set and payed less than $260 shipped. That's like $32 each, for something that is such a common failure, it can't be beat. They are reproductions, identical to a Wells brand.

Also, while you have the intake off to install the new coils rewrap the rear coil wiring and separate/inspect the wires for bare spots And breaks.

I had a wicked miss that wouldn't trip a code when I bought mine.
I also rewrapped my harness with new tape, loom, and added some adhesive backed "heat wrap" for wires and hoses that I got from AutoZone.

I think replacing the coils and rewrapping the harness should be considered preventative maintenance.
