Hello,

Im fairly new to these forums but wanted to see if anyone could answer my question.
I just upgraded my car from a 2000 Mustang V6 to a 2004 GT. Before I upgraded I took off my MSD Dis 4 Ignition from my V6. I was all ready to do the install on my GT, but when I opened the hood after I bought it, I was upset to find that the 04 uses Coil on Plug Ignition. Is there anyway to adapt a MSD Dis 4 to work with the coil on plug or am I stuck with the stock Ignition forever :/

THere is no need to upgrade the stock 2v ignition.It works fine.The only way to run a dis4 is to have TWO dis 4 boxes and FOUR tach adapter boxes.

Im still running the stock COP setup and have zero issues with it.

Thanks for the info, If the stock COP ingnition is running fine on your car I should have no problems when I start to build up mine. Thanks for the info
