Rippthrough 98 Posted May 9, 2007 I'm guessing you can do this as I can't see the wiring being much different - but Does the existing coil pack connector plug straight into the COP units, or do I have to rearrange the wiring? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rippthrough 98 Posted May 9, 2007 rearrange DO you know what the wiring needs rearranging to? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RossD 44 Posted May 10, 2007 DO you know what the wiring needs rearranging to? Is there any advantage to doing this, I know that they had lots of problems with the coil on plug units.....? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rippthrough 98 Posted May 10, 2007 Is there any advantage to doing this, I know that they had lots of problems with the coil on plug units.....? Probably not a lot, but I suspect my normal coil pack is dead and I can get a genuine COP type for peanuts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RossD 44 Posted May 10, 2007 Probably not a lot, but I suspect my normal coil pack is dead and I can get a genuine COP type for peanuts. You should have been on ebay a couple of days ago.... I won an 8v coil pack for £3.20!! I'm using it for my TU build. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sam 4 Posted May 11, 2007 When I was working at halfords we were ditching our Lucas (basically OEM) stock of coilpacks, including the 8v. I got a spare for 15 quid. I bet if you could find one in store it'd be dirt cheap. Sat in my garage till 2008 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I bet if you could find one in store it'd be dirt cheap. Sat in my garage till 2008 Got this one now, cost me £20 including a spare + extensions, both are genuine peugeot units Just got to find out which way the wiring needs to go!

Rippthrough 98 Posted May 16, 2007 If anyone has a loom side connector to fit I'm after one, even if you've just filched it from the scrapyard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rippthrough 98 Posted May 22, 2007 Well, got a connector, spliced the loom in to test it - then realised that the throttle cable for my single point injection sits where the coil pack needs to go, doh! Anyone want to swap a brand new, genuine coil pack including extensions + connector for one of the old style packs in full working order? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ablister 31 Posted May 23, 2007 the new ones are crap anyway! If you have one of the new ones, make sure it's the modified ones as those are better best to stick to the normal ones + leads Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rippthrough 98 Posted May 23, 2007 (edited) ffs phil, what the hell have you been doing! I'm ok, I've skanked a brand new old-shape one for a pint I'll get the new one on when the bodies go on next month Edited May 23, 2007 by Rippthrough Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
