So, from a longer thread, a short story:
I partially need and partially want to replace my ignition coils.
Obviously the OEM packs will be the optimal replacement. I know this (please avoid "duh" responses :wink.
What I would like to know is if anyone has any experience with other brands. Coils seem to be fairly straight-forward devices (read: "hard to screw up").
One other Item, and maybe this will spare someone else trouble: "Duralast" coils (autozone house brand), work, but will not fit under the plastic coil-covers due to the shape of the casing around the mounting bolt holes. I used one of these to find an intermittantly arcing coil because it was cheap and close to hand.
So, a few questions:
-What brand are the OEM coils? NGK?
-Apart from afore-mentioned cheap-o coils from autozone, has anyone had good/bad experiences with new coils of another brand (Bosch/AC Delco/etc.)?
-What is the difference, if any, between the front bank and rear bank coils on a '92 NSX? Most of the non-OEM coils only come in one flavor that I can tell, but the OEMs are specifically labeled.
I found lots of info elsewhere about checking coils and such, but nothing about brands/differences.
Any advice/opinion is appreciated.
