sUiCiDe,

I never had any issues with the swap I did above. Started up on the first turn of the key. Either way will work.

both are relle easy, only difference are the number of wires u have to sodder and the output voltage. neon coils= 36,000 volts, gm coils= 45,000 volts per coil so a total of 90k. ive done both swaps an i prefer th gm coils. but both work great and if u want to save time and money, neon all the way.

could you use the wires from a 2.2l or just get the universal cut to length ones?

Where are you all getting your wires from?
Would the stock length from a 2.2 work?

We make our own. Mine are from a GTP though because I didn't feel like making them. Not sure about the 2.2 wires
