I can gaurentee that during the 2000 MY and perhaps even a bit into 2001 that some 3L Duratecs in the Taurus and (mainly) Sable came with C.O.P. ignition. I've seen more then one example personally.

For reference - The coil rolloff limit of the factory ignition coil pack is north of 10000 rpm. Let me know if anyone is spinning higher then that.

2000 SVT #674 13.47 @ 102 - All Motor! It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.
