Jessopia74 Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Original is the square type. But you can use an oil filled can if you wish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cam.in.head Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 just make sure you get the one designed for constant 12v (bosch kw12v)and not the earlier coil used with points.this coil only runs at 6-9v and will soon burn itself out if fitted to a electronic injection car which yours is. to check. measure the resistance across the 2 outer terminals.which should be less than 1.0 ohm.( 0.6-0.9) NOT 1.2-1.6 ohm .(early points coil) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
