Default Coil pack conversion

Looking to get the conversion done soon but have several questions.

1) Is the coil pack supplied in the kits the same as the one fitted to a zetec engine cos I have one lying around?

2) I have a 92 saff 4x4, do I need the rev counter modded? If so how difficult is it to do?

3) Will a secs monitor be affected by the conversion?

in this months fast ford there is an article about fitting a coil pack, and yes you do need to do a slight mod to the rev counter, just a case of soldering a small bit of wire to a couple of the point on the back of the counter, if you buy the mag there is a pic showing exactly where

I saw that article, was thinking about getting it done to my 3 door, just wondering has anyone else had it done and is it worth the effort.

There are a lot of PF members have it, maybe worth putting a topic in general discussion to get a good selection of independant opinions.

Fair one Stu, how much do you charge to do the whole thing? Will it work with an original 3 door ECU?

P.S. sorry about hijacking your thread cosrep!
