Got the package 4:30 installed and running 5:30. I bought this because my old coil on my f150 was going out and this was a direct wire in because I had the tfi ignition. 3 problems but not really at fault for this product. 1: finding a mounting location was tough but I ended up removing my old coil and hose clamping it down. 2: after you remove the clip and cut the 2 wires there isn't a lot extra. Lucky I had some spare 14 or so gauge wire laying around. 3 if your coil wire is a 90° angle fit you have to splice the wire. But this coil makes it idle so much better and run even better. Instead of half the pedal to move the truck it takes maybe quarter. ## Frequently Bought Together - MSD 8203 Blaster 2 Hi-Performance Coil , Red - MSD 8213 Ignition Coil bracket (Canister Style), Horizontal Mounting GM coils --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.it/products/1674599-8203-ignition-coil-blaster-2-series-w-ballast-resistor-red](https://www.desertcart.it/products/1674599-8203-ignition-coil-blaster-2-series-w-ballast-resistor-red) --- *Product available on Desertcart Italy* *Store origin: IT* *Last updated: 2026-05-09*
