What i meant was that the primary coil resistance would need to be similar so that the computer senses the same resistance, and then draws the same current.
As if you try and draw more current, things could turn messy for the computer.

I might look into this, and an aftermarket improvement. Sounds tasty.

And the pic someone was thinking of before, could be this:

Now that's the stuff!!
I would be very happy with a set up like that.
Not only does it look good and no doubt add
to the performance, but how much easier would
it make changing the leads on an I6.

Those are aftermarket Commodore coils. As I said earlier they don't work "out of the box" in a Falcon and will need wiring up by someone who knows what they are doing.l
