Hi all,

My cossie is at my mechanics as we speak and he is replacing the oem ignition coil with a group A coil. I understand this to be better, but what exactly is Group A? Is it a motorsport specific standard?

Please do let me know guys as its doing my head in

Cheers!

 

group a is just an excuse to push up the price on uprated items.

it is a motorspecific standard, but i doubt this coil is a actual group a item.
Group a items usually has a 909 number printed and costs alot

 

ditto as does group n------

 

Group a by definition has to be used on some oe cars.
The group a coils are well worth the money, without a shadow of a doubt the best £40 odd I have ever spent for the benefits.
It was not designed for fords but was in fact an OE part on LANCIA's .
At the price it is not expensive, but the difference in performance with one is immense, this is good and bad!!
Good for the benefits, but bad as it shows what a pile of crap ford put on there in the first place coil wise.
Even a boggo car benefits greatly from one.

dito, its like the difference between points and electronic ignition

 

Thanks guys...

Picked up the car from mates garage. plugs, leads, dizzy cap, rotor arm, GpA COIL...

WOW its a new car. The best drive home in a long time. Its running smooth, boosts nicely. Your right, the best £50 spent on the GpA coil!!!

Next wage goes on an RS500 intercooler...

 

Just shows what crap they put on to start with though!!
