Default What coil is this?

I pulled these off a 4.8 I picked up complete. I also have a set of what I believe to be LS1 coils. Posted up pictures of the ones off the 4.8. Which ones should I use?

measure the mounting holes center to center..looks like a coil I have not seen before but I can tell what bracket to use by the mouting hole measurement. Has to be center of hole to center of hole.

Looks like a version of an LS2 coil

Those are the early truck coils...99+ They are better than the LS1 coil IMO but there are better factory style coils out there...LS2 truck and car style...and the newer LS3/9 style....

Right on! I'll measure them tonight, I was planning on getting the brackets and wires from you, including TR6's if you have them.

Hmmm, might take a set of 6's and 7's just in case, your prices are very reasonable and those brackets are amazing. Doing a conversion into my 67 firebird and flipped the truck manifolds and obviously have to relocate the coils. Not sure if I should use the ls1 style (which I also have) or the coils in the picture... I'll measure them tonight. Want me to post up or PM you?

Thanks again,
Tony

Damnit, I keep forgetting to measure! >=| I just bought a set of the good truck coils with brackets, no harnesses for either (just realized that).


I have the harnesses off the other two full sets of coils I own, will they work?

99blanco - Will be talking to you soon buddy to get those wires, plugs, and relocation brackets!

Those look like the early Melco truck coils. The Delphi coils are the round barrel style, like in the post above.
