## Description

MSD offers these two 4-tower coils as replacements for a variety of years ranging from 1994-2003 on vehicles including Mitsubishi, Neon's and others. Note: flat terminals are used on PN 8239. Some OE coils use round terminals. The MSD coil features flat terminals. Contact MSD customer service for the connector to convert round terminals to flat. If you plan to run an MSD DIS ignition please look at PN 8883 for a direct plug-in wiring harness.

Review: Was in need of a new coilpack. This works great and now I need to replace my spark plugs and wires.
Review: This coil replaced my OEM coil at 88k miles. This coil is originally a drop in replacement for Dodge Neon's however, due to the Chrysler based Tritec Motor in the R50 and R53 MINI cooper's, this coil will also fit. Note, the bolt holes for this coil DO NOT fit the MINI's factory coil's bolts. No big deal, this is much publicized around the net and I was aware of this problem before purchasing. There are 2 ways around this issue. #1 Replace the bolts. I did not choose this route as the stock bolts have a metal cylinder sleeve with rubber bushings at the top and bottom of the coil to reduce vibration and increase longevity of the coil. These also help to prevent the coil's bolts from being overtorqued. Others that simply replace the bolts with standard bolts lose this sleeve and bushings and therefore have to worry about stripping out the valve cover threads, cracking the valve cover due to overtorquing, or having issues from the bolts being inserted too deep into the valve cover's threaded studs. I chose option #2, drill out the holes of the MSD coil to enlarge them to factory size. This was quite simple actually. The pressed in sleeves on the MSD coil I believe are aluminum, at least it seemed that way because they cut quite easily with standard drill bits. I simply removed the OEM coil and figured out what size drill bit was required (I don't remember now). Then put the MSD coil on the drill press and gradually increased the drill bit sizes incrementally until the bolt holes were large enough to accept the factory bolts. This is honestly an easy route to go and then you get to reuse the factory bolts and know that the factory torque spec will work for properly securing the coil without damaging the valve cover. My main reason for replacing the coil was due to high mileage with a slight 'miss' on idle. The number 3 terminal of the OEM coil corrodes and this rust and corrosion will build up on the coil and the spark plug wire connector as well. I could've replaced with another coil but why when the MSD is both cheaper and an improvement. True both produce the same output voltage, however MSD has brass terminals which will not corrode and rust like the OEM coil. Because of this I chose the MSD. The red color also accents the Engine bay and dresses it up quite nicely.
