S3 Motorcraft Ignition Coil - Part Number?

[TVRHasgo]

As part of my 'engine bay refurb' on my 1990 S3 (2.9 Cologne V6 engine) I want to replace the Ignition Coil with a new shiny one! However the Part number on my unit is mostly warn off and despite looking online finding a replacement has been confusing rather than becoming clear.

Can anyone advise of the right part number (All I can read on mine is: 79BB ???????? AA - See image attached) and even a recommendation for an alternative part if the Motorcraft 'original' is no longer available please?

Its a standard part for the 2.9 Cologne engine. It is not TVR specific.

I'd get the paint out and tidy up the good quality original unit if it is still working fine.


But if you must replace there are plenty of options......

What about this chrome cover for your ignition coil:

Oooooo shiny.

I found out the Motorcraft P/n: 79BB-12024-AA
Intermotor direct replacement is P/n: 11330

But as you say as my original is working fine maybe a nice shiny cover is the cheaper and better option.
Has anyone moved the location of their Ignition Coil from the standard Plenum Chamber fitting location?

Operation 'Tart up under the bonnet' is going well... Will post some before and after pics when done!

For 6 Euros I wouldn't expect shiny to last too long!

Yes, mine now resides (away from the heat of the engine) on the flat area of the bulkhead next to the brake bias valve.

I agree and therefore I spent £23 and bought a new unit, so now have the original as a 'spare', all be it a tatty one!

Yep that is exactly where I'm going to move mine too. Did you bolt it down through the bulkhead of did you use heavy duty self tappers with an appropriate pilot hole drilled in the shelf? Is it 'all clear' in the region behind this location?

The pedal box is under there, I tapped M8 threads into it, you could use nuts 'n bolts or self tappers as you suggested.
