An ACDelco GM Original Equipment Ignition Coil is a GM-recommended replacement for your vehicle’s original component, and undergoes more stringent testing than aftermarket products. It increases electrical system voltage to help ignite the air/fuel mixture as the starting and charging system starts the engine, maintains the battery’s charge, and provides power to the electrical accessories while the engine is running. An ACDelco GM OE Ignition Coil uses pure copper windings to improve durability and provide higher resistance to internal shorts and dielectric breakdown. Because the number and shape of the laminations determine the output characteristics of an ignition coil, ACDelco ensures that the silicone steel plates surrounding the coil correctly match the original part size and number. Since steel laminations work best when they are new, shiny, and clean, ACDelco laminations are coated to hinder corrosion and many feature molded plastic protection to help ensure that nothing is exposed. This original equipment ignition coil has been manufactured to fit your GM vehicle, providing the same performance, durability, and service life you expect from General Motors.

Product Features:

Valve Cover Gasket

The ground electrode is cut-back from the center electrode to provide a gap, and its concave face ensures a constant gap to the center electrode. This design opens the spark face for better ignitability of the flame kernel and retains less heat, transferring it to the shell faster to reduce the risk of pre-ignition. Dyno testing has shown proven power gains, making it ideal for all aftermarket cylinder heads used in various racing venues, including oval and road racing. The cut-back ground electrode is an evolution from the practice of grinding back the side electrode, and it features a tapered seat type for optimal performance.
