New to the hobby and recently picked up an older Sand Shark that has the removable coil and had a couple questions. First, it's my understanding from reading various threads that the reason they went to the hard wired was because of connector availability and not some inherent flaw or problem. That aside, is there anything I need to know about the older unit that is different or that I need to pay special attention to?
Also, my unit has the 8" coil and while I was searching around, I went back and forth between wanting an 8 or a 10.5. Well, I ended up finding a deal on the 8, so that's what I bought. Does Tesoro (or dealers) sell a replacement 10.5 coil that I can buy? Or would I have to send it in and end up with a hard wired unit? I'd rather have the option of switching them, but in all my searching even before I bought mine, I never came across just a coil for sale?
If the Tesoro folks read this, are there any older coils or plugs or cables available to build my own?
Any ideas or suggestions are welcomed. I'm not in a big hurry as I just got the unit, but figured I'd go ahead and ask..
