Coil packs, you say? Most curious... Anybody want anything Thursday? Might be heading with a buddy.

Pick-a-Part lists two 2.5L Fieros on their lot, an '86 and '87. I suspect the "coil pack" is simply the DIS ignition on the '87 duke. (Only the '87 and '88 dukes have this ignition system.)

Huh, I never knew that. I guess that actually makes the Duke more technologically advanced than the six in later years...

Yeah, the '87/'88 dukes also have auto-tensioning serpentine belts to go with their DIS ignition systems.

If I ever get my original '87 duke running again, you'll be amazed at it's magnificence.

Amazed at it's gizmos, and disappointed at it's cylinder count.
