Autopartstomorrow.com: Motorcraft DG508 Ignition Coil vs. Standard Brand

For almost all auto parts these days there are "options". It can get pretty complicated. I am going to use the Ford Motorcraft DG508 Ignition Coil as an example. It fits a huge number of Ford cars and trucks that I will list at the bottom of the page. The Ford distributorless ignition engines are very well designed and use these "coil over" modules that sit on top of the spark plug. Most cars and trucks that use this part won't even need to do a tune-up or replace any of them for the first 100,000 miles. After that the coils begin to go bad, one at a time usually. Since the original Motorcraft part number DG508 typically sells for somewhere between $50 -$80 each, buying eight at one time would be devastating. At Autopartstomorrow we sell this part for about $37, which is a HUGE savings, but I am just getting started.

We also have a couple of Standard Brand ignition coils that are built to exactly the same specs, but sell for much less. The DG508 equivalent in Standard brand is FD503 and sells at Autopartstomorrow for a few dollars less each. Where the real savings add up is by buying the FD503T, which is built overseas, but carries the same warranty and are only around $17 each. For that price you may even be able to replace all of them.

If you are going to keep your vehicle forever we always advise to replace with original equipment parts. But if you are like most people and need to save some money to get your car going again for another 4-5 years, sometimes the savings on an aftermarket part can be quite helpful. Either way, they are quality parts and you won't find a better price anywhere than Autopartstomorrow.com.

Good day. I'm from South Africa and imported a 1998 Ford 5.4l V8 engine. I'm going to use an aftermarket high performance ECU. I need to know if these coils are "Dumb" or "Intelligent" coils, to enable me to map the ECU for the coils.
Kind regards,
Hendrik
