would the MDS coil and plug leads from focus CFM (for the focus 2.0 blacktop zetec engine) fit on a pre-98 silvertop zetec engine.

i know the plug leads are different where they go on the coil but i will use focus plug leads aswell (they come with the kit)

You have to make sure the connector to the coil will fit on the pre-98 Contour. If it does you maybe in luck. But don't go off my opinion alone. Check out some focus forums about the coil if you haven't already.

I'm running a MSD coil (Part #8241) and Ford Racing Performance wires meant for an Escort ZX2.

As far as I know, the only difference between the Contour wires and the Focus/ZX2 wires, is that one has clips on the connectors that go on the coil, and one doesn't have the clips. No big deal. The clips are just for extra insurance that they don't work loose.

That is what I was going to say since I have had both.

I have one from a ZX2 along with the wires for a ZX2. The only thing I had to do was remove the gasket because my plug was too big for it.
