[s-cars] 1.8 Coil Conversion Kit & P/S Pump ... best sources?

[Odyrestorations at aol.com]

I used the 034 harness kit and 1.8 coils from the dealer  - $28 each,  then a 
coil cover from Apikol. Installation is simple. 
While I am thrilled to have eliminated high-load miss, I am disappointed in  
the look of the engine bay and the knowledge that the 1.8 coils may not be  
bullet proof. 034 sells a high output coil, but for that price, I would go for  
stock coils. The truth is, I am nearing the end of my ownership and I took  
the easy way out. I would go for stock coils if I had it to do again, especially 
 after hearing of some better pricing out there. Mine lasted 12 years, 
160,000  miles - pretty good.

Apikol  and 034 have them.   When I was in a pinch 034 said "none in  
stock - two weeks".  Apikol said "I'll stop what I am doing an make  one 
for you - two days".

I love the Apikol kit.  Very "stock"  looking and well made.
