and these are 69.95 + 12 shipping
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-I...mZ390010541084

If it were me, I'd get the cheaper ones. I think there the same part. Who knows maybe one is an error.

Different batch, different price. Get the cheaper ones. The part numbers are the same so it won't matter which ones you get. And yes they will fit a 98 5.4 2 valve engine.

Regards

I bought mine a few months ago and found that same price difference. I bought the cheaper ones and installed them a few weeks ago. 1 of 8 was no good from the box. I am still waiting for the replacement. Actually it would be nice if I could get an email from them letting me know that they recieved the defective one. KEEP your old COP's like I did in case you run into a problem, they make good backup's. I would get rid of your #4 cylinder coil, just in case the coil was causing your misfire problem.

Tired ? DG508 - as long as those numbers are in there, your fine.

I would order the V10 package if you could afford to. - It nice to have an extra just in case.

Sometimes there's a bad one in the bunch from what I gather. No one can escape that possibility. Advertising that (I gotuh bad one!) all the time just cuts down a good product. Maybe you fail to recognize that Global carries the best record per sales for NO DOA or bad products. Other manufacturers whom boost a very bad records here go unrecognized because most of the time this won't get mentioned unless the Vender is brought up. It's not necessary

They are good coils and the price benefits everyone. Maybe it would help to look over statistics or just take my word for it, (less work) - since I've seen many come and go. We all know you go a bad one, that's unfortunate.

Introduced here in 2005, Kevin and Global has come thru for allot of us man.
