Re: [DML] Ignition issue- RESOLVED (long)



Exactly!  Most people who are looking for crossover parts
DON'T know what really works and what doesn't - nor do they 
have the slightest clue what it takes to qualify a part.  
They certainly don't have the time, equipment, or expertise 
to do it on their own.  

What may work on a single car in a single location given a 
single driving pattern won't necessarily work under different
circumstances.  There is no guarantee that the part will
work anywhere else.  Take spark plugs and wires.  Are they
the correct impedance?  Are they the correct temperature 
range?  Are they gapped correctly?  Just because a set of
wires will reach from the cap to the plugs doesn't mean
they are the correct parts.  Just look at the issues 
that have been reported on this list regarding replacement
coils.

What DMC and other vendors have is exposure to a large 
population of cars.  They can determine from their experience
over that population what works and what doesn't.  They are 
also better equipped to quantitatively determine if a part is 
better or not.
