Since you have the coil removed already, think about running a ground wire from under it to your central ground point (if you have one).

Just ordered the MSD 8229 coil pack. Then saw this thread

I'll let you know how it goes.

I should mention that you have to make sure and use a coil that is from a vehicle without the integrated ignitor.

MSD Coil pack 8229 came in today. The bolt holes are different, either top 2 or bottom 2 can both go in at one time, but not both. It is more of a rectangular shape. Not an issue for me, i'll find a work around

I'll be stopping by the local mitsu dealer sometime next week to find out about the connector, and will try a few salvage yards.

Contacted Magnecor about making custom wires

Mk750: Why did you get the coil pack? I dont think the coil is the week point, the ignitor is. (even if you dont have the diamond pack)

morgie: Attach the ground between the copper portion of the sleeve of the coil pack mounts and the raised/threaded portion of the throttle body.

Are you going to run the MSD coil with the stock ignitor? Dont you worry about the resistance values being so far off? I think you should get an extra ignitor and keep your old one just in case it ruins it.

Actually, with college/work/no license I don't have the time or patience to work everything out.

So you do get your way after all, ciper

j/k

Both types of packs are made by Hitachi, I believe. The Diamond ones say "Diamond" on them. Yours is the plain ol' Hitachi coil pack.

what makes the Diamond coilpacks better?

They're just wound in a way that makes for a higher voltage spark, I think.
