Expansion of Standard Motor Products Ignition Coil Program
Standard Motor Products, Inc. (SMP) is thrilled to announce an expansion of its well-known Ignition Coil program. With over 700 models available under the Standard® and Blue Streak® brands, the company is dedicated to regularly introducing new coil numbers to fulfill the varied requirements of the market.
The Importance of Quality Ignition Coils
High failure rates associated with original equipment (OE) ignition coils have opened up significant opportunities within the aftermarket, making these products essential for automotive performance. The Blue Streak® by Standard® coils are crafted with advanced features specifically tailored for high-mileage and older vehicles. Their design maximizes spark energy and prolongs discharge durations, thereby significantly extending the life of the ignition coils.
Features for Enhanced Performance
When OE coils fail, technicians often turn to Standard® for top-notch alternatives that provide better longevity and reliability. The company carefully inspects each original component to pinpoint common issues, employing innovative solutions to boost overall performance. For instance, the Blue Streak® by Standard® FD503 Ignition Coils have a redesigned structure aimed at improved heat distribution—addressing a major concern in various engine models, including the Ford 4.6L.
Innovations in Design Technology
Many OE coils utilize a two-piece design that can fail due to moisture seeping through degraded O-rings. In contrast, Standard® has engineered a one-piece sealed design that effectively eliminates this risk, ensuring moisture doesn’t affect the functionality of the coil. This advancement highlights the company’s dedication to maintaining performance under tough conditions.
Broad Vehicle Coverage
Standard's ignition coil program covers a wide range of vehicles, delivering full coverage for both late-model imports and domestic cars. These coils are manufactured at SMP’s IATF 16949-certified facility, where they undergo comprehensive lab testing to assess spark energy and durability.
Latest Product Releases
The company has recently launched new ignition coils for popular models such as the 2023-21 Ford F-150, 2023-20 Subaru Legacy, and various Mercedes-Benz cars and SUVs. Innovations also include options for the Volkswagen Jetta and Taos, in addition to popular models in the Ford Super Duty series. Currently, Blue Streak® offers 15 different ignition coil multipacks, with additional options in development.
Dedication to Quality and Performance
John Herc, Vice President of Vehicle Control Marketing at SMP, expressed that "Our Ignition Coil program is the most comprehensive in the industry. We are devoted to continually expanding our offerings to ensure the highest quality and performance for professional technicians."
