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. http://picturehosting.com/images/oblique9881/copsystem006.jpg http://picturehosting.com/images/oblique9881/photo1.jpg http://picturehosting.com/images/oblique9881/copsebring.jpg http://picturehosting.com/images/oblique9881/copbracket.jpg 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.

Now offering partial kit COP systems using either the Chrysler Sebring style coil or the Ford 4.6 modular coil. Sebring style: http://picturehosting.com/images/oblique9881/photo_5.jpg Installed on my MPI car: http://picturehosting.com/images/oblique9881/photo3.jpg Ford modular style: http://picturehosting.com/images/oblique9881/photo21.jpg Ford modular style installed on a non-intercooled car: http://picturehosting.com/images/oblique9881/photo22.jpg There is ample clearance around the compressor housing for the coils, they do not touch. The interesting thing about the Ford modular motor coil is that they come in colors. These are obviously blue on an Atlantic Blue car. Black below on my MPI car, they also come in red, yellow, green and more. http://picturehosting.com/images/oblique9881/copsystem006.jpg I've got about 3000 miles on the car since switching to COP, zero problems. You WILL need some kind of heat shielding from the direct radiation of the turbine, there was a picture a few years back in the MPI section of someone running a COP system without any heat shield and they melted a coil. The 3000 miles have been typical Houston driving; freeways, gridlock, high speed, low speed and lots of heat cycles in summer with the A/C on. Again, zero problems and excellent driveability. There are two coil driver units to choose from, the QuadSpark from DIYautotune and/or an AEM TwinFire CDI box. Either comes all pre-wired with the COP coils and bracket, all you need to do is wire up the spark outputs from your FIP, Megasquirt or AEM ECU. Both the QuadSpark and AEM TwinFire are capable of sequential ignition, only the QuadSpark is capable of wasted spark mode. The AEM unit is a multi-strike CDI and provides the best option for high boost/rich mixtures that high HP motors run. YOU GET The COP bracket with the coils of your choice pre-wired using weatherpak connectors to either the QuadSpark or the AEM TwinFire CDI. Stainless steel button head capscrews to mount the coils and bracket to the valve cover and complete instructions for mounting. The mounting process is actually quite easy, I can check/change plugs in less than five minutes on my MPI car, the four capscrews hold the bracket and the coils securely in place on the plugs. The COP bracket is aluminum, I wouldn't call it polished as I've seen perfect mirrors in aluminum but it is very smooth and reflective as can be seen in the pictures above. YOU NEED An aftermarket ECU. I can mod any FIP or Megasquirt system to run wasted spark or full sequential ignition or you can do it yourself. AEM ECU's capable of spark control have the correct outputs as well. You also need a missing tooth crank trigger for wasted spark or a mighty max distributor (with the crank and cam sensor) for full sequential ignition. IF YOU'RE ALREADY RUNNING A MISSING TOOTH CRANK TRIGGER than you need nothing more. If you want to run sequential ignition then you need some sort of cam signal. WHY YOU'D WANT IT There is a reason that all the OEM's have gone to COP. Reliability and performance spring to mind. There are lots of high HP Starquests running the factory dizzy setup so its not imperative, just a logical upgrade option that offers visual appeal as well. PRICE $390 your choice of coils using the QuadSpark driver. $640 your choice of coils using the AEM TwinFire CDI. I personally run the AEM on my MPI car, its never run better.
