Those are Bosch coils, have you tried the Bosch agents for OEM items?

I am a little nervious about these coils as it was about 1986 that they changed to electronic and mine is electronic but thank you. I think they may be about 4 ohms for point ignition. My coil is a single coil with 2 outputs and 1 ohm primary. I think I may be able to replace with 2 single coils of 2 ohm in parrallel to give 1 ohm. Has any one done this or any ideas?

I have purchased a coil identical to the orriginal with no need to experiment with different systems and I am mobile again. Thanks for your advise and offers of help. Regards, Falconer

:scooter: I am intending to be there and was concerned with my problem coil. Goes very well now. It has bugged me for years as an intermittent and I have only found it when it stopped and would not start.
