its my understanding all the aftermarket ones are made by the same company, just with different labels and colors. stock are more than adequate and can be had for a lot less money than aftermarket.

Im not doing this to call you out, but PLEASE tell me where I can get new genuine Motorcraft COP's for less than a set of Accels, MSD's, or even Grenatelli.

The stealership wants $90/COP where im at...

btw i work at a dealer doing back counter parts. but beyond that, you have to look at the other places offering motorcraft parts. the 2v coils are a part number 3w7z-12029-aa or a dg508 depending on if they use long or short numbers. check out rock auto 2004 FORD CROWN VICTORIA Ignition Coil

the coils are the same for all 2v's

I put the MSD ones on my car(96GT w/ two coil packs). They look nice but, I didnt notice any real difference. idk about the COP though. I think the stockers are as expensive as aftermarket from what I have found.

99+ do not have coil packs. Or do you mean the COP's? I know someone who bought a set of MSD's i believe, car ran the same as it did with the stockers.

Awesome, thanks for the link. I have looked pretty broadly and have not found a deal like that...
