Replace leading coil w/FC3S part?
All,
I am going to replace my ignition coils. I've read on a few posts that the FC3S (2nd gen) leading coil is better/more powerful than the FD version. Is this true? And if so, is it a drop-in replacement?
Thanks!

yes, the FC one is better. i did it to mine... its not plug and play tho. IIRC you cut the connector off the coil harness for the leading coil and then you will need to extend the wire and it connects to the coil by using two eyeballs connectors one for power and one for ground (i believe)
idk if they fit/or how they fit under the UIM... i relocated my coil rack to the frame rail along the drivers side becuase im not running A/C or P/S

Ok, thanks, so some other questions then:
1. I would need the t2 leading coils right?
2. Do the t2 coils like the same dwell time as the FD coils or they like more or less dwell?

You can run higher dwell time with the t2 coils if wanted or needed. And they will fit under the uim as long as you pull the igniters off them and use the fd igniter.
I am running t2 coils on my fd with jacobs amp on primary coil. I was told that these coils are very durable and will handle just about anything you throw at them. My car was able to make 600 whp with this ignition setup without any problems on c16 no ai.
I am however going to eventually go with another ignition setup because all of these coils are 20+ years old. I have an a couple sets of these that still are good if you are interested.

^^ actually hes right, i think they do have to be the t2 coils, not just any fc coil.... and just agreeing they are suppose to be more durable as you can run the jacob ignition setup with them vs the fd ones will crap out

I was recently doing the T2 coil conversion my self but after doing much research i realized that (for me)the this conversion is not necessary. The stock coils have been proven to handle 500+HP.
My opinion would be,stay stock or go with a complete different ignition system (amp and coils).
