COP Plate by Elutions Design

I've been running coil on plug (COP) for several years now and had made up a dozen or so plates to support them on the valve cover. Still have 4 left, $75 shipped via USPS Priority Mail. They are cut for the Ford modular coils but can be easily modified to run the Sebring style coils. The Ford modulars come in just about any color you can think of if you want to color match, yellow on a bananna car would be awesome!

 

6061 aluminum, 0.075" thick, they polish up real nice.

I also offer the complete setup with polished plate, four coils mounted with coil drivers all wired up for $395. You would need a stand alone ECU with two (wasted spark) or four (sequential) logic level coil outputs to properly run it. Yes, the FIP ECU systems can be made to operate these. You also would need at least a "crank" signal or crank and cam for sequential, the Mighty Max optical distributor can supply both.

 

 

THIS PLATE DOES NOT WORK WITH MITSUBISHI SCRIPT VALVE COVERS as those are missing the rearmost mounting hole next to the #4 cylinder. You could certainly TIG something up to make it work.

Distributorless, yes, plug wires, NO!

 

There are reasons no auto manufacturer is using a distributor any more, performance, reliability, maintenance requirements are all improved or they wouldn't bother.

COP vs. CNP differences are minimal, CNP is used when you have a radiant heat source in close proximity to where the coil would be, in the case of a pushrod V8 you have the exhaust manifold right there. In the pictures I've posted above you'll see the factory heat shields in place, they block the radiant heat so the coils are fine. I've got thousands of miles logged without issue, I'm sure a turbo blanket would work as well if you really hate the heat shields. If you have to have the naked turbine look then by all means use CNP with insulation on the wires like creaky's picture.

Very nice setup I am intrigue about this. As soon as I get another viable widebody I think this is the way I'd go.

 

Cheers,

If you're talking engine bay heat that doesn't bother the coils, they are rated for that. Think of all the OEM applications, a retrofit Starquest is no different. Now if you're talking direct radiation from the exhaust manifold and turbine then the discussion above applies, you will need some kind of shield.

Thanks Scott the radiated heat from manifold and turbine housing is my concern.

For those of you holding out for a CNP system I'm going to be designing one here shortly, it will bolt to the top of the valve cover and use insulated plug wires so radiant heat will not be a problem.
