The Project Pad

I'm purchasing the rest of my MS3X conversion parts, and there are a number of different styles of LS coils. The question I have is which one would be the best ones to pick up.

Thanks for any advise here.

Can't comment on best maybe some pricey msd ls2's? But I have some Delco D585's pretty good, nice heatsinks, a + if you're putting them close to engine, they do have diff dwell mapping.

Thanks, I should have said best factory coil. I looked at the D585, but read about people having problems with dwell. I'm looking at a set of LS2 D514a's now.

Stay away from the MSDs. They are junk.

Just get regular chevy LS2 coils. They put out the highest energy spark with something like 60,000 mv or whatever.

GM# 10457730 or AC Delco D585

The one that's in your hand!

No offense meant but I think you're overthinking this. LS1 coils may be slightly marginal but IMHO any of the others would be fine. I'd give primary consideration to price/availability and "mountability", then just grab a set and have at it.

Marc can reset the dwell if you are concerned. I killed a d585 with stock dwell, went 034 HO and haven't had a problem in years. Got them cheap barely used.

I have heard 034 are rebadged AEM units.

I had heard this as well.

D585 D514a are working flawlessly on my car.
