Another Quick Question...

Just curious, on an '87 2.8, is the ignition coil seperately mounted, or is it a coil-in-cap model....? Thanks in advance.

'87 2.8 here. Ignition coil is external. You have whats called a pickup coil that is internal under the cap, it is somewhat like points.

All the 2.8/3.1 MPFI motors, years 85-92, had the remote coil HEI. I think the v8 TPI's got the remote coil HEI in '87... so we were a few years ahead of them.

Aren't the 82-84 2.8's coil-in-cap? Don't remember, been a while since I've seen one.
