The modification involves moving the ignition coils on a specific vehicle platform, often to a different location within the engine bay or chassis. This process is typically undertaken to improve engine performance, accessibility for maintenance, or to accommodate other aftermarket modifications. For instance, moving the coils away from a heat source can potentially increase their lifespan and improve their operational efficiency.
The rationale behind this alteration often stems from a desire to enhance the vehicle’s reliability or address inherent design limitations. Benefits can include improved spark delivery, easier access to spark plugs, and a cleaner aesthetic in the engine compartment. Historically, this type of modification has been popular among enthusiasts seeking to optimize engine performance in classic American muscle cars and performance vehicles.
