You needn't buy a $uper $pendy ignition coil from Pertronix but you absolutely -MUST- read the instrucxtions ans match the resistance of what ever coil you do use , to whet the directions say ! it varies upon with Ignitor setup you buy ~ some are designed for 8 ~ 11 VDC voltage , other are designed for straight 12 volts and failure to match the oil will cause failure, this is the reason some complain Ignitors are no good ~ not because they're bad , because they fail to personally check ~ even if you buy the $pendy $pecial (B.S. BTW) Petronix coil , TEST IT before installing it ~ .

The best igniton coils will be epoxy filled , NAPA's excellent Epoxy filled coils are affordable and last forever but you can use the old crappy coil lying in your junk box as long as it's tested and has the correct resistance .

I wish I could give back even 1/2 the help and good advice I find here.....
