Ah, much better.
 

Nothing like a new set of spark plugs and
a fresh coil (of the correct type) :/

Long time ago I had a jeep dealer do some work
because I didn't have the time. They replaced
the coil but had to "trim" the connector to make
it fit. Ok.. that set a flag, but it worked
and at the time that's all that mattered.

Just picked up a replacement from NAPA. Yea, NAPA. :P
IC409 to be precise. It's the same vendor as OEM
and with the good ol jobber discount, a heck of a lot
more reasonable.

Same part number/mfg stamp as the OEM coil that first
went out after eight years of service, and the almost
2ft extension harness. (I wonder how much 2ft more
run to the coil affects timing?) Anyhoo, now it
starts with the first flick of the ignition and runs
sooooo much smooooother.

Didn't do a write-up, too easy. But here is a piccy of the part.

It even came with a new connector end to fix the "trimmed"
one they left me with. I'm saving it for later.

You can never have too many spare parts.

Hi Doug,
I would guess that's one heat range colder, to be able run at full
throttle under eight pounds.
We normally lose one thousand volts per foot of ignition wire.

I prefer Napa's Echlin to Delco for my Jeepster. They are the best ignition
parts in the business for American stuff.
I wouldn't replace Bosch parts with anything different though.

Yep RC9YC5 or AutoLite 4925 plugs. Gotta keep them cool or bad things
happen quickly.

The nice thing about the I6 is the ignition wires are very short and
all about the same length (+- 3 inches or so)
