ignition coils December 26, 2005, 09:59:59 PM I was wondering if anybody is running a high output coil on their 3.8 engines or if anyone had some feedback from someone that did. im mostly interested in any problems like fires or melted wiring. My brother had a tempo we droped a mallory high output coil in and fried a fusable link on the baterry side of the ignition harness. My cougar is a 87 cfi, any info would be appreciated Quote Selected
