i think that u have to have a timer unit that produces a regukar spark. if u use it without you only get a spark now and again.

nova dry coil ht lead and a spark plug . run 2 wires from your coil in the engine bay . works every fukin time with absolutly no problems . (fitted one on my m8s saff 3 years ago and has worked without ill effects ever since ) by the way you need to put a switch in one of the wires from your coil or it wont do fuck all ..
