meh, nothing wrong with it. Its a coil, it makes spark.

your not going to magically get more HP putting it in or anything.

I tryed it. My engine was burning so much oil i needed the extra spark power to geet the plugs from fowling out. It worked for about 15 miles, then could not power the engine over 1500 RPM, took it back got the silver one, same thing just about 15 miles. I droped in a Solid coil from a N/A Z31. worked great and kept the plugs cleaner for a couple hundred more miles. Still runnin it to this day with the new engine. All you need it the stock Z31 plug, Coil, and two good wire crimps. No other adjustments needed(for 82-83)
