I’m gonna convert an ancient engine from a distributor to coil-on-plug. I’ve done wasted-spark conversions but this time C.O.P. is the way to go.

The engine is a Rambler (AMC) 195.6 OHV, inline 6, 4500 rpm max, 3.2 liter/125 hp. Want to use available OEM modules, not expensive aftermarket.

Most COP modules are tall and skinny, for overhead cam engines. Mine’s pushrod, so the plugs poke out the side.

What I need is short stubby modules. Anyone have any suggestions?

    Oh I’m totally fine making things, wires are no big deal at all.

    I put EDIS-6 on one of these engines, it’s wonderful. This time I’m writing my own code instead of using Megajolt/e which is now getting old.

    Today I worked out pne of the Toyota COP modules that’s fairly short, bought one from Rock Auto and a connector, I’ll see what that looks like.

    But I will search for Volvo hacks – the b18, b20 and the 122 car itself has always been a favorite.

    Can you recommend a Volvo site?

    Thanks for the post!!!

      Nice, that’s awesome! I’d like to be able to do that stuff myself, but getting past the initial learning curve seems really steep

      But yeah, the turbo bricks forum will probably be your best bet, there is also swede speed, but they focus more on FWD volvos. As usual, the site based search function is garbage, so just use google
