May 2019 Document compiled on Adrian Blackwell behalf of BriSCA F2 by: BriSCA F2 Chief Technical Consultant

A number of drivers and engine-builders have requested information from BriSCA F2 regarding acceptable ignition coils for the 2.0-litre Pinto Engine to be used in conjunction with the mandated rev. limiter. The current regulations state:

231.16.3 A traditional standard type “wet” coil must be used, as fitted to the original production vehicles. 231.16.4 A genuine Ford ignition coil as fitted to the permitted 2.0-litre SOHC NE (Pinto) engine type detailed

above, or a direct aftermarket replacement ignition coil with a part number cross-referencing directly to the original Ford 2.0-litre SOHC NE (Pinto) item, MUST be used.

231.16.5 The use of any non-standard or performance enhancing ignition coil is NOT permitted (e.g. MSD Ignition Blaster, Crane Cams PS91, Crane Cams FireBall range, or the CI BlueTronic).

231.16.6 The use of any ignition coil that does not cross-reference directly to the original Ford 2.0-litre SOHC NE (Pinto) item is NOT permitted (e.g. a coil that cross-references only to a Vauxhall, Peugeot, or any other make).

231.16.8 The part number MUST not be removed, and MUST be clearly visible to the scrutineer or other appointed BriSCA F2 official.

Notes for 2020:

From 1st January 2020, the only permitted coils will be from an approved list published by BriSCA F2. Such coils will be commonly available over the counter from parts suppliers nationwide, and be equivalent to Ford’s original specifications.

Listed below are the details for 3 widely available standard “wet-type” coils that comply with the current regulations.
