bodders1 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Don't be taken in by the bling - it's just a coil.Does your car have a ballast resistor? If so, then this coil is not for you. From the eBay description "Chrome standard non ballast points type coil "If you use this coil and retain the ballast resistor, it will result in a weaker spark.

CHRIS211083 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 In my experience the only coils to buy are the Flame thrower ones. They are about £40 but every other one has died within a year. Even the lucas sports coil died. Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm at work and my wiring diagrams are at home. If your car is without a ballast resistor then this coil will work fine.Chris: if you're destroying a coil every year, I'd be concerned about what is causing it. My car still has the same coil it left the factory with 35 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clive Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I think there are some from a nissan micra that are suitable, probably lots of others. But a nissan one would outlast the car I suspect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
