MSD Coil?? Should I or Shoudn't I
 
Yes its time to replace the coil on my good old 95 Cobra. I was thinking about the MSD coil but I heard from a few people that it makes noises and only last a few years. Has anybody found anything good about it, or should I just go with a stock replacement?

I had the MSD Blaster 2 TFI coil in my car, it made lots of noise, but other than that it was a good coil. Two of my buddies have them and 1 makes noise, the other doesn't. So I'm gonna say its hit or miss with them. Accel and Crane make good coils too, you should consider them as well.

I've had my MSD coil for about a year and a half with no problems. I seem to remember it making a little noise when I first put it on, I guess I just got used to it

I installed the Crane PS-91 coil as a replacement and never had a problem in three + years of using it.

No buzzing, no noise, nothing but nice hot spark.

About $50. Recommended.

Cool, thanx alot 5.0. I've seen the ad for the crane coil in the mustang mags but never thought about getting it, maybe I should. Since it isn't much more than a replacement it looks to be a great deal. One question about that coil, does it use the stock coil wire, the one with the clips. Note sure if the 86-93 stangs used it but the 94-95 does.

I have the accel coil, had it on the car for about 7 years(I'm guessing). No noise and works, it was one of my first mods. Don't know if its better or worse than the crane though, I never really thought about it.

I've had the MSD coil in my car for about 5 years now, and I haven't noticed any noise with it... hmmmm. :confused:

I have the MSD coil and have no problems. What kind of noise are you talking about radio noise or just noise coming from the coil? I do have a little radio noise but no big deal I can't really hear it, but my EQ bounces so I know it is there.

86StangGT:

As I recall, it was a direct fit.

I just had to remove the mounting housing they supply (no big deal) and it connected normally, just like the stock coil. Easy.
