I have 16k miles on my rebuilt ‘93 302 Roller, GT-40P ported heads, GT-40 intake (EFI), FMS F-cam.

When I built my roadster I installed a New Mallory Promaster E Series Ignition Coil / heatsink MAA-30440. (less than 4 years old)

About 2 weeks ago, my car just died, no warning and no improvement after it sat and cooled off.
After determining that I had no spark at the plug, we replaced the Mallory Coil with a spare OEM unit and it fired right up.

Although I really liked the look of the Mallory Heatsink mount, the OEM units do not fit, so I may need to go with a whole new one (?)

Looks like Summit no longer has them available.

Found this one on JEGs: MSD Ignition 29209 - MSD/Mallory Replacement Items (http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/SearchResultsPageCmd?Ntt=mallory+coil&requestYear=&storeId=10001&catalogId=10002&langId=-1&year=&make=&model=&submodel=&engine=&Nrpp=&No=&persistYmm=false)

$377.95!!!!!! WTH?


Any suggestions for a reliable replacement? (for less than $378!)

I'll refrain from delivering my "Don't try to use race car parts on a street car" lecture (again) and simply recommend that you head on down to the local NAPA store with 50 bucks in your pocket and pick up an OEM spec Echlin coil for a '93 5.0 Mustang.

Point taken. Wasn't intended to be racecar, but good advice.

So what is OEM? Motorcraft?
