Ignition Coil

Fits:

Porsche 914/6 1971-75

The OE Match Console for Twin Ignition Coil is a replacement mounting bracket designed to securely locate two ignition coils within the engine compartment of classic Porsche 911 and 912 models.

• Porsche 911 1965-1968 2.0L / 912 SWB (F)
• Porsche 911 1968-1973 2.2L / 2.4L / 2.7L RS LWB (F)  

The console provides a stable mounting platform for a twin-coil ignition arrangement, keeping both coils correctly positioned and helping prevent excessive movement caused by engine vibration and vehicle motion.

It is particularly suitable for restoration, ignition-system refurbishment or vehicles equipped with a twin-coil or compatible twin-ignition configuration where the original bracket is damaged, corroded, modified or missing.

What This Product Does:
Ignition coils convert the vehicle's low-voltage electrical supply into the much higher voltage required by the ignition system to create a spark at the spark plugs.

This console does not generate or control the spark itself. Instead, it securely supports the two ignition coils used in the relevant ignition arrangement.

Its functions include:

• Securely mounting two ignition coils
• Maintaining correct coil positioning
• Reducing excessive vibration and movement
• Supporting orderly ignition-wire routing
• Reducing strain on electrical terminals and wiring
• Preventing coils from contacting surrounding engine components
• Maintaining a clean and secure engine-bay installation
• Providing a suitable mounting arrangement for twin-coil ignition systems

Common signs that replacement may be required include:

• Visible rust or heavy corrosion
• Cracked or broken mounting points
• Bent or distorted console
• One or both ignition coils becoming loose
• Excessive coil vibration while the engine is running
• Rattling from the engine compartment
• Enlarged or damaged mounting holes
• Missing or loose mounting hardware
• Ignition wiring being stretched or poorly routed
• Coils contacting nearby components
• Difficulty securely mounting both ignition coils
• Evidence of improvised or incorrect previous repairs
• Missing original mounting console

Ignition problems such as misfires or weak spark are not necessarily caused by the bracket itself. The coils, wiring, distributor and other ignition components should also be checked where running problems are present.

Why Replacement Matters:
Ignition coils should remain securely mounted during engine operation.

If the mounting console is bent, cracked or heavily corroded, the coils may vibrate excessively. Continued movement can place additional stress on electrical terminals, high-voltage leads and associated wiring.

A poorly secured coil can also move into contact with surrounding engine components, potentially causing chafing, damaged insulation or unreliable electrical connections.

Replacing a damaged console helps restore:

• Secure twin-coil mounting
• Correct ignition component positioning
• Reduced vibration
• Proper wiring and lead routing
• Reduced mechanical stress on electrical connections
• A tidy, factory-style engine-bay installation

For restored or modified classic Porsche models using a twin-coil ignition arrangement, a correctly fitted mounting console also provides a much safer and more professional installation than improvised brackets or unsupported coils.

Ignition coil Part Number: 901 602 502 00 (often written as 901-602-502-00 or 90160250200). Converts the battery’s 12 V into the high voltage necessary to ignite spark plugs via a Bosch Capacitive Discharge Ignition (CDI) system.

Fits:
Porsche 911 1969-83 / 911 SC
Porsche 930 Turbo 3.0L 1975-77
Porsche 930 Turbo 3.3L 1986-89

Common issues & symptoms of ignition coil failure

• Engine misfires and rough running, caused by inconsistent or weak spark delivery
• Difficulty starting or No start, worn or failing coils may prevent engine ignition, especially when cold
• Check Engine Light (CEL) misfires often trigger fault codes. While older models won’t display modern codes, CEL illumination is still common
• Loss of power / reduced fuel economy, Incomplete combustion leads to reduced performance and increased fuel consumption
• Backfiring or fuel odor, unburned fuel expelled through the exhaust may ignite, resulting in audible backfires or fuel smells
