does any one know of any changes nessesary to the factory setup in order to install the msd coil packs for the 3800 series II engine? they are said to be compatable with factory equipment but i just want to be sure. thanks for any help.

Yes the bolt right in. Question why are you putting the MSDs in? Are your originals shot? If not dont waste your money. The only benifit of the MSDs is the bling factor. There is no performance enhancement with those.

Yeah, Herc's right, the bling factor is the only real benefit from those.

BLING BLING YO YO YO

There's really no benefit to going to aftermarket coils on these engines, unless you consider poor reliabilty a benefit!

The coils on these cars are plenty hot enough to help the engine burn cleaner to meet emissions requirements, among other reasons. The factory didn't skimp in the ignition department.

wow, i guess all the hype is false then. a few people i know had told me these would be better for performance. thanks guys. i really dont want to spend $150.00 just for "bling, bling" if it wont enhance my performance.

If you check out some performance sites eg:ZZP ,Intense you'll see that some of there top performers are running sock coil packs up to 400whp so save your coin for other mods if you want bling just paint the suckers with vht paint.

I would however use the MSD plug wires if I were you. Factory ones are not real good. After installing MSD's on my '98 GT, everything sharpened up - starting, acceleration, etc, etc.

New OEM wires are just fine as well. How ever with our cars any brand you use if you plan on taking the wires off to inspect your plugs be prepared to replace your wires. More people have ruined the wires trying to get them off even after they use dielectric grease when they installed the wires. Be careful is all I'll say.

Just make sure that when you're removing the wires, you're using a removal tool which grabs the base of the boot. It's usually only when the tool isn't used or aftermarket wires are on the car is when they like to break.
