Right now, I have the stock ignition coil. What will be the best after market coil for my 1993 mustang 5.0? I would like to improve my spark even more.:lookitup:

Unless your making crazy horsepower a stock Ford coil is best!

Wow. Didn't know that. I guess thats the same rule that is applied to spark plugs. Motorcraft copper plugs are recommended even for optimum performance and gas mileage. I've heard that 5.0's are allergic to platinum plugs. So, the same goes for coil?

I went with an MSD Blaster Coil for my Stang its working great. Go for it if you don't plan on a digital high end ignition for a while.

Unless you have a shitty Ignition System you wont notice much from Ignition upgrades in my opinion. Unless you max out you stock capabilities.

I thought about this post this afternoon while watching the power block on spike. MSD is supposed to be offering some money back on their coils, it said to check out their site for details.

I did mine in an attempt to help with burning fuel in my rich running motor. And its not like its making things worse.

Stock coil, no issues. Make sure you perform a tune-up regularly. Cap,Rotor,Plugs and fuel filter. If it's been awhile, change your plug wires to. That will make the most difference.

Cool. I already replaced my platinum spark plugs with motorcraft copper plugs and my worn out ford racing wires with better Taylor Thunder Volt wires. Also, have new msd cap and rotor. My coil and fuel filter has not been changed. Does a dirty fuel filter hurt gas mileage?

Yeah it can if it hasn't been changed in a decently long time. I just went ahead and took my spare F150 fuel filter and swapped it in. Seems to be working ok. ;)

My stock coil died around 220,000 miles(she has 310k on her now). Replaced it with an Accel Super Coil. Eventually the entire ignition system will be Accel. :) The dizzy is next.

Unless your in need of a stronger spark the stock one is plenty good enough....If you need a new coil then i would get a aftermarket one because its probably cheaper than factory. I have an msd because i need a stronger spark because my stang is turbo'd and the boost can actually blow out the spark so i need a stronger coil. Spend your money on other power improvers like an electric fan..pulleys...etc
