I got to thinking that the VW coil packs might work for our vehicles. They are cheap and of the same design.
Due to the failure rate on the original VW coils, they dropped the price a lot! so in turn just using the VW coil packs might save use some cash when doing the set.
What do you guys think? shouldnt be an issue other then wiring in the connections?
Might be retarded but whatever!

No, the old ones are, not the new ones...
They had a high fail rate on the originals design.

The pin out should be the same, it's only the length into the spark plug well that might cause an issue.
You can get them for dirt cheap so it would be a worth while mod. Any VW guys around here have a set of coils in the stash? I have a ton but they are all in Maine and I'm out of state for another 2-3 months.
