me78569 and I were bored today...
project/hobby m42. same car as 255lph fuel pump.
Coil over plug units from an m60 or equivalent bmw v8. ground bolt flanges from one side and slightly shaved the other to fit, pinch jumper grounds for precaution as a "presidential solution" to see if it would work:

Funny shit. ...actually runs much better than with the plug wires, even just testing & all ghetto rigged!

Good fun. Glad to see it running, well worth the case of beer be finished off.
Little confused on the wiring aspect here???
We have been doing this on the M42's for a couple of years that I know of..Have one on mine even..
Complete kits are usually available at m42club.com..
Wiring is plug and play for the new coils..
