Well ****.... I've got two MSD coils that are OHMing OL, I replaced another MSD coil just a couple years ago that had some seriously burnt looking terminals. I'm done with MSD ugh.

Damn, that sucks. I have a new set of MSDs, but I guess I?ll leave stock AC Delco in there as long as they work. I?ll check if my set are made in China if that makes a difference. MSD used to be a good brand to count on. [emoji22]

Yeah its really frustrating, so many once high quality, trusted brands are outsourcing production and the result is cheap junk. Moog is another example I've heard of people having issues with. I'll pay more for the good stuff... but it's so hard to find good stuff anymore as branding often means nothing these days, ugh.

I hear you on that. I do not mind spending more for you get what you pay for, but not if the quality is not there any more. Of all the coils Rockauto has, I might be willing to try only 3 of them. The AC Delco has one of the shortest warranties of only 12 months. The SMP ($26.79) shows limited lifetime, but when you go to details only 3 years/36K miles. Not that I have ever been able to use warranty for parts like this. I did not know that NGK has a coil for our cars 3/36K. I guess the only way to find out is to try.
