Splitfire rb26 coilpacks, but obviously you buy 6 coilpacks instead of 4. Or, if you're lucky, FET used to make ca18 sets, and every once in a while you may get lucky and find a set. But most of us won't ever see the need to upgrade what we've got.

The CA18DET in the 1988/89 Pulsar NX SE has coil packs. If you want new ones, try the parts store, otherwise, find a local junkyard.

Yea, I usually hear $75, but still not cheap regardless.

Could be... I may even have some around from swapping the engine in the Q. If I can find them I'll compare them to the CA packs and let you guys know.

i heard once somewhere that you can use coilpacks off of some chrysler. i wanna say a 300m or something funky but i can't remember off hand. then again it might be for use on a completely different car. just thought i'd throw that out there though.
