Wiring them in parallel will make the charge go to the coil with lesser resistance, that's why they should be wired in series as mentioned before.

Whats the PN of these coils?
I'm not sure. Some of the cars at the yard have the year maked on the windshield with a paint pen but not this one. All I know it was a Dodge Intrepid. By the mounting points being on the top and bottom there different than the ones Buschur sells because his have one on top and the side, and seam to be shorter (If that matters). The May 2004 Turbo magizine had a write up on Tim's car with some pretty good pictures. I thought of this idea about 3 years ago and after seeing it I had to do it.
I looked closer at the coils. In a dot matrix stamp on the side it has
04609 095AD 0458.
Hope it helps

A pretty well known guy here in the Rocky Mountain DSM arena did some extensive research on these setups using the Chrysler 300M coils and built several setups. It seems that the downfall was that the stock ECU could not control coil dwell, speed, and volt charge setups, causing problems with the setups over time. Don't know if that will be your experience, but keep it in mind.
I seem to remember this. Being that the 300M/Intrepid coils weren't meant to be used in a waste-spark system they were burning out prematurely. The dwell time on the coils was greatly reduced when they were used in a waste-spark system and they were overheating and dying eventually. Not sure if the wiring was different than the way curtis has them wired up. Time will tell. Keep us posted on your results curtis!

I just installed my home-made kit today (GSXR coils) and it seems to be working fine. I can't say for sure if it's idling better or "rev's easier" than before, but I gave 'em hell today and the held up to everything I threw at them. I've got a lot of pictures if anybody wants some email me at [email protected] or [email protected] I'll try to post up again in a couple months and let you know how they're holding up, or if/when I have any problems.

I wanted to add to this for some that might come down the road a bit later as well as ask a question. Curtis, I see that in your drawing it shows the wire colors of white and green. My problem if that I didn't get the connectors with wires when I got my coils, so is the green wire the wire on top or on the bottom of the coil harness? I looked at your pictures and it appears that the green wire goes on top and the white goes on bottom. If that is correct what effects would having the wires opposite of that have on the car? Also you said to wire in the "little black box" into the junction of the black wire and the 1 & 3 coil. Is this the box you are talking about? I am having some misfire issues and I am assuming it is becaue I forgot to wire in the black box, however it appears I swapped the wires on my coils as well. Hopefully the answer here will clear up any confusion thatmay arise for others.
