Those of us who live in California have to un-modify our cars every two years for the ARB's state-sanctioned protological certification and eye exam. Being able to plug straight into the factory wiring makes it easier and quicker to remove and reinstall.
Neat trick. Although in my case, the bottom of the ignitor was held on not with silicone, but with a very hard cement, almost like JB-weld, but white. It was surprisingly difficult to prise free.
I used a bandsaw to slice the back edge off (the side furthest from the connector) and then took the plate off wth heavy needle-nose pliers. It bent the metal somewhat, causing the circuit board to shatter. By the way- when you're prying that circuit board off the plate be very careful- it seems to be made of porcelin or glass, and I cut my thumb on one of the shards. Wouldn't have been so bad had my hands not been covered in brake cleaner from trying to remove that horrible clear goo.

odd. the glue in mind was nasty, snot-like in consitensy. Like rubber cement that didn't harden, but a lot stronger. My pcb board is very happily sealed to the metal plate. I have been unable to pry it free, and it's neither budged nor broken.
My ignitor is part # J702T-0706. I remember that the one on the car now has a different part # on it after the -. Perhaps a different sealant was used on the different runs.
I would wired up the COPs and given it a go (minus hold down bracketry) Sunday, but I couldn't find my fine duty soldering gun. Oh, and I didn't pick up any pins to make coil plugs anyway.

Ok, so I filled up before I drove to the machine shop in roanoke this morning. The round trip totalled almost exactly 90 miles for me with a nice 5 mile 500+foot mountain climb near the end. My fuel gauge is just at the very first tick after that. So it looks like I'm on the way to at least 300miles to this tank. Pretty good considering I was at only 200 last tank with highway driving.

These things are great for making cleen looking splitloom harnesses.

I've never tried it, but that would appear to be the case. Below are excerpts from the EMU install manual.
The tuning manual also notes that CAS input is necessary for the conversion. I'm not sure if the EMU will like the Miata's CAS since it does not have a discrete #1 sensor...

I'm running megasquirt on my '99 using a '97 CAS which is super easy to install. Megasquirt uses the CAS signal and will fire the COPs in my situation in batch form.
Maybe there is someway to filter the crank sensor on the front of the motor into a different signal so that the COPS could be fired that way. That would be quite an ordeal though. I think Arga experimented with that using MSII as well.
What engine management do you want to use?

Also, does this include wires or just plugs? If not wires, what are the rest of you guys doing?
I don't like the idea of soldering wires up to the connectors. Too much opportunity for a short.

Shipping in the usa shouldn't be more then $10 usps so the rest of you ordering the coils send $70 to Lazzer408@yahoo.com via. Paypal.
When all 6 sets are paid I'll place the order and get them out asap.
Thanks.
edit - I'd like to get these sets ordered by Thursday Aug. 9th.
