I just started working at O'Reilly Auto Parts when I did this so don't jump down my throat to bad about this. My car needed a new coil so I looked one up but at the time I did not know my engine code was a P. Two different coils came up for the LT1 (E46 and E46P) not knowing which one to get I just purchased the more expensive one (E46 model). The coil installed just fine without a problem but later on I learned of my mistake. The E46 coil is made for a standard 350 so I'm wondering is their any difference between the standard 350 coil and the LT1 coil? My car has had coil problems since I purchased it so I really don't have a way to tell if the car is acting right.

Thanks

 

does it run okay?

 

Nope but I'm not sure the coil is the problem, I'm just wondering if the standard 350 coil is hot enough for the LT1.

 

i dont think thats gonna matter, they should both make plenty of voltage for the motor to run

 

i think the earlier LT1's had a two piece connector, while the later ones had a one piece... or vice versa.... if it hooked upto your harness, then it should work....

 

car might be runnin bad due to a bad opti?!?

 

Is their anyway to test for a bad opti?
