[DML] Re: Engine misfiring and coils

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Don't confuse resistance with inductance. All coils are not created
equal. Spacing of windings, # of turns, and gauge of the windings all
have effects that cannot be measured with an ohmmeter. I am sure MSD
coils are fine for many applications, I am just not convinced that
they are any better for a Delorean with a Bosch ignition module than a
Bosch coil. Besides, I also pointed out othter possable causes other
than the ignition coil. The only time you might notice any improvement
over stock would be at high rev's and/or high power levels. Increasing
the output voltage of the coil without upgrading ALL of the other
parts in the secondary ignition circuit will cause the weaker parts to
fail. In particular I am refering to the distributer cap and rotor.
