ignition coils, difference between N/A and */C?
long story shor ti been drivign with mismatched coils and lviing with a slight misfire for awhile, a friend got me some free coils from a series 2 N/A, obviously i got an */C, so i put em in, my engine is much smoother, no misfire, but now it feels real sluggish, thoughts, ideas? i was thinking either theres a difference between */c and n/a or maybe these coils are just old

FWIW, I have my stock L36 coils on my car. It does make sense that they might not have as much spark as the L67 coils because I can't run as large of a gap as others with the same setup. However, I have had no issues with power, and swapping them back and fourth should make no difference as far as being "sluggish". You may possibly get a miss if you go from the stronger coil to the weaker one, but nothing a little spark plug gap can't fix.
