Hi Bart,

	But... I'm not building racing motors! :-))  As another post tonight will
explain, we need coils that can have the iron cores easily removed.  The
cores on a "fine" GM coil can be removed with a simple drop on the floor!
However, you have some experience with other after market stuff.  Do any of
these have removable (by a beginner) iron cores.  If so they may work very
well!!  My coils are now running $13.99 from AutoZone.  A hard to beat
price!  My earlier fear that cheap GM style coils my not be of high quality
appears to be wrong...
