Standard Motor Products Launches Expanded Ignition Coil Series

Standard Motor Products Ignition Coil Program Expansion

Standard Motor Products, Inc. (SMP) is excited to announce an expansion of its renowned Ignition Coil program. With over 700 models available, under the Standard® and Blue Streak® brands, the company is committed to introducing new coil numbers regularly to meet the diverse needs of the market.

Importance of Quality Ignition Coils

High failure rates in original equipment (OE) ignition coils have created significant opportunities within the aftermarket, making these products critical for automotive performance. Blue Streak® by Standard® coils are designed with advanced capabilities and are specifically engineered for high-mileage and older vehicles. Their design ensures more spark energy and longer discharge durations, thus extending the lifespan of the ignition coils significantly.

Enhanced Performance Features

When OE coils fail, technicians have come to rely on Standard® to provide superior options that offer enhanced longevity and reliability. The company meticulously examines each original part to identify common issues, implementing innovative solutions to improve overall performance. For example, the Blue Streak® by Standard® FD503 Ignition Coils feature a redesigned structure to better manage heat distribution, which is a key problem in various engine models such as the Ford 4.6L.

Technological Advancements in Design

Many OE coils are constructed with a two-piece design that can lead to failure due to moisture seeping through worn O-rings. In contrast, Standard® has developed a one-piece sealed design that completely negates this risk, ensuring that moisture does not compromise the coil’s functionality. This advancement speaks to the company's commitment to preserving performance in challenging conditions.

Comprehensive Vehicle Coverage

Standard's ignition coil program extends to a wide array of vehicles, providing complete coverage for both late-model imports and domestic vehicles. The manufacturing of these coils takes place at SMP’s IATF 16949-certified facility, where they undergo rigorous lab testing to monitor spark energy and durability.

Recent Product Releases

The company has recently introduced new ignition coils for popular models like the 2023-21 Ford F-150, 2023-20 Subaru Legacy, and multiple Mercedes-Benz cars and SUVs. Innovations also include offerings for the Volkswagen Jetta and Taos, as well as popular models in the Ford Super Duty lineup. Blue Streak® currently has 15 different ignition coil multipacks available, with more in development.

Commitment to Quality and Performance

John Herc, Vice President of Vehicle Control Marketing at SMP, stated, "Our Ignition Coil program is the most comprehensive in the industry. We are committed to continuously expanding our offerings to ensure the highest quality and performance for professional technicians."

For those interested in exploring the full range of new Standard® and Blue Streak® ignition components, they are available in the company’s catalog as well as through electronic catalog platforms.
