what year is your car? you'd be better stick with motorcraft coils for 99+ 4.6s, and either Motorcraft, MSD, Accel, or Screamin' demons for the 96-98

Where would one look to find the cheapest place for those listed stanggt97 I'd be interested in upgrading if the price wasn't too high

food for thought ????????????

my stang is a 99 4.6 I just never heard or saw anything made by AMT , just curious ? seems like 99 cops did have some problems & they had a black resistor mounted on the end of the spring if it went bad you lost your spark , later models had a different resistor mounted more down toward the middle I think ford saw the problem , PS I went to Ford some time ago & the parts department could not find or give me any info on the resistors I had brought 2 cops one from a Bullitt & one from a 99 GT , the parts guy spent 1 hour on the computer & even he had no answer but did say there were problems with the 99 cops ........ the cops were over $60 each at that time , I have had 2 go bad so far , one was just the resistor & one the pack just gave out , no spark , the OB tester gave the cylnder & problem its a nice tool

I have the Accel coil packs and they just as good
as the Motorcraft replacement coil packs.

I got mine from brothersperformance.com, they were 44bux at the time but I think they've gone back to regular price (about 79 each)

I ordered my Accel coil packs from Jegs and they were not on backorder at the time.My old Motorcraft coil packs failed on me and I wanted to
try something different.They improve output voltage witch will translate
to a better spark,better throttle response,improved combustion witch can
possibly improve MPG,and they give you a longer arc duration too.
Plus they look cool in the engine bay.
