Eldor+Bosch Coil Mix==Bad?

Cm452 · 10-28-2019, 12:05 AM

I have seen several sites/posts advising NOT mixing the stock Bosch coils with Delphi coils, but what about Eldors? I blew a new Eldor coil for...reasons, and have some old Bosch units that I had pulled out (5/6 were working fine) bangin around my shop. I wanted to swap the one bad Eldor with the old Bosch units until I can return my coil to FCP--what will happen if I do? I know this often is touted blindly...do we know why it actually matters? OEM VS AEM stock should be identical, interchangeable, and swappable from an engineering standpoint.
I tried using search, and I am either daft (possible) or most of the subjects just said "No" without explanation or didn't address the problem at all, actually.
Thanks,

It will be absolutely fine. I ran 3 Bosch and 3 Delphi for years until I sold my n54 and never had an issue.
