So, I have to ask: Which is it? You have been selling these parts since at LEAST April 2006. Now, from April 2006 to Nov 2007, that is 20 months. So, if you are AVERAGING 6000 individual coils a month, then you have sold 120k coils.

But your second post says you have only sold 8800 individual parts...

Frankly, I had not intention to get involved in this thread. I have a basically stock GT (for now) and I don't feel like I need aftermarket coils at this time.

But those two quotes REALLY stood out as incompatible.

Now back to business. I am very sure my current coil packs are not bad, they just ran on a dyno at 478 whp which is very close to what I was expecting right before I deinstalled them in April. My concern is failure. You mentioned you changed the way you did the coil windings. I was an electronic technician for 10 years and understand these concepts pretty well so I'm curious was there a problem with the old method that was causing the windings to short together leading to the failures and that's why they were changed? If so, is there a way I can swap my older style for the newer style? Also, does the design change of the ropes address the connection to the plugs better? I'm not talking about the ability to adjust the length of the rope, just the seating onto the plugs. Thanks -Joe

I get that every so often - I guess i have a very matter of fact way about how I type (convey) my thoughts - I sincerely meant no disrespect. On that note imagine how I feel when people are taking perfectly good GMS parts off thier vehicles for fear they will break before they ever do. - it reminds me of the guy that had a Vortech A-trim on his car and drove around town with the belt removed looking for a street race. When he fianlly found someone to race him he would pull off the road and spend 10 minutes trying to put the belt on. Someone had convinced him the blower was not reliable so he only used it when he wanted to go fast.

make sence but imagine how Vortech felt when they heard they had a customer(s) that had no faith in the product.

The "rewind" and design change was actaully a knee jerk reaction by us in an effort to blindly fix a problem that did not exist in the coil. Like I said the problem was actually the contact between the plug and rope. The ability to adjsut the rope is "the fix" - I will inspect you coil if you feel they need to be

Separate from that GMS sells on average 6000 coils a month for 1996 to 2007 Ford cars and trucks, Dodge and GM as OEM replacement coils - like what you get from MSD, Accel or Checker Kragen. In fact, we sell OE replacement coils to most of the bigger chain stores. Those coils are 20,000 volts each and come with the slinky style spring - just like MSD and Accel. We sell them as individual coils because they are compatible with stockers

So if I buy the new version that is for sale at Moss Motors, what do I have to do to install them on my car? Just unbolt the old ones and put the new ones on? or do I have to mess with the cables with hammers and such?
