HEY MATE COULD BE FROM A WRECKERS THEY NORMALLY PUT TEXTA OR WRITE SOMETHING ON IT TO DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN MODELS ETC.
WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE???

thanks for reply,its not covered in it ,just has sort of blackish type streaks on it, could be old grease etc.,i remember my old falc's dizzy module had to have a jelly like substance smearred on it that came in a satchel with the dizzy module,i was thinking maybe it has to have the same sort of goo on it!!!!!!!!!!,thanks.............

The DFI units for VN and VP don't have to have any grease fitted to them prior to fitting on the vehicle.I remember the grease you are talking about that was fitted to the ignition module of early commodores. It was called heat sink grease.The only thing they do have is a gasket fitted between the DFI unit and the coil pack base. On VR and later coils each individual coil also had there own individual rubber seals.

hi,i just checked, this coil pack came of a vp that was running,and thieres no gasket between the coil packs and the base plate/module,maybe other models had a gasket

No between each coil pack look underneath when removed and you will see a usually orange rubber seal sealing the contact terminals onto the baseplate. The gasket im talking about should always be fitted between the base plate and the DFI unit, they are two different components. When assembled there are three components all together Coil pack, Base plate and DFI unit underneath.
