As long as you are not in a rush, mine will be available once I convert to a wasted spark/coil pack.

Is that the same thing as coil on plug (COP)?

Generally wasted spark uses coils firing two plugs each. The plugs are fired every engine rotation (instead of every other rotation) 'wasting' one spark on the exhaust stroke. Since there are two plugs per coil, you would need wires. COP uses a short spring instead of a spark plug wire and the coil fits on top of the plug. You could wire a COP as a wasted spark system but you would not need to if your ignition brain is smart enough.

I just ordered new stuff from paragon - new cap, rotor, plugs, gasket, etc. was all of I think 90 bucks including 2-day-air shipping. Wasn't that bad.

My rotor was melted down to slag, but the cap looked REASONABLY okay - just dirty and the contacts were a bit pitted (figured a replacement couldn't hurt though). You can have it if you want it. I was just gonna' pitch it.

I have a cap (for sure) and rotor (I think). I went to a wasted spark setup. But I dont think it will get there early next week. You can have them for free if you are interested, just a couple of bucks for shipping.

Do you need to buy rotor with the shaft or without??
