people told me just to go with the green coils as the black ones tend to have problems, where do i get plugs with resistance if i get the non-resistor caps? and are they more expensive?

Any auto parts store should be able to get either type of plugs. I have usually found the non resistor on the shelf but resistor plugs you have to ask for or order.Nathan

I have found it easier to get resistor plugs, as most cars use them in addition to the resistance of the plug wires, but I have also found every auto parts store I have checked with to have the non-resistor plugs as well, and since that's factory, I too stick with the resistor caps and non-resistor plugs.
Personally I have seen several on here that have been running the black coils for some time, and then some who had problems, but I've seem a few with green coil problems too, so I'm figuring black and keep all my stock parts in case I have to revert.Cy

Oh, don't get me wrong, the green coils apparently have a lower failure rate, but since I can fit a set of black coils into my budget, but not a set of green coils, I'll be going with the black ones and take my chances. I understand the black ones are easier to get mounted up too, so for the moment that's gonna be my choice.Cy
