Ignition Coil

[dgallo]

I would like to replace the ignition coil in my 86 SVO. I am unsure what coil to buy as of course no one has a listing for a replacement SVO coil. Is it the same coil as the non-turbo 2.3L Mustang? Can anyone recommend a good high output replacement coil? A manufacturer and part number would be very helpful. Thanks gang.

call Paul @ SVP.  He keeps the MSD High output coils for our SVO's.

They're not that expensive, and they pack quite a knee jerking charge , quite a bit hotter than the stock coil.

The SVO coil is standard Ford EFI from what I understand, nothing special.

I have been running the Accel super HEI coil for several years w/o issue. Here is the link to Summit showing the coil:

It appears that Accel now also offers a Ford specific HEI coil, and it is less $$ also:

What is nice about the Ford specific coil is that you can plug your factory harness into it. For the one I have, I had to purchase an adapter to use the screw power terminals. That is because I purchased it almost 10 years ago before they had the 4709 above.

Paul sells the same coil MSD has (45000 volt) , and it is a direct plug in.  I believe the price is $35.00.  I've never really had good luck with accel stuff, and I stay far away from summitt when I can. 

After my last conversation with their tech department, and their tech is telling me that the SVO's are V8's, I refuse to call them back.

I agree with you about Summit's tech line Eric, I have been on there too. I just knew I could find a picture/number for my coil on Summit's site with a ballpark price.

I have been running a Crane PS-91 on my SVO for the past couple of years with good results. I bought the universal replacement model and took it out of the fancy aluminum bracket. It then bolted into the stock coil bracket, just like the factory coil.

I never had any problems with the stock Ford coil either.
