Rep Power: 959

I just started working at O'Reilly Auto Parts when I did this so don't jump down my throat to bad about this. My car needed a new coil so I looked one up but at the time I did not know my engine code was a P. Two different coils came up for the LT1 (E46 and E46P) not knowing which one to get I just purchased the more expensive one (E46 model). The coil installed just fine without a problem but later on I learned of my mistake. The E46 coil is made for a standard 350 so I'm wondering is their any difference between the standard 350 coil and the LT1 coil? My car has had coil problems since I purchased it so I really don't have a way to tell if the car is acting right.

Thanks

I think the standard one is lower voltage, but could be wrong

no the OBDI coils have a dual connector and the OBDII have a single connector...or maybe the other way around...

yeah i was right. 92-95 it was a dual connector like this:



then the 96-97 had a single connector like this:

The right type of coil is on my car, I'm just wondering if the voltage is to low.
