The YKG2S2 that I'm working on still has the original coil stamped 05-67. Should I keep this on the car or as a souvenir and use a modern coil i.e. epoxy filled? |

I’d check the resistance in the primary and secondary circuits, if those are ok and the engine runs fine I’d be ok with using the old one. Having a spare one in the boot for long trips probably isn’t a bad idea The primary should be about 3 ohms on a Mk1 |

The primary resistance should be around 3 ohms on your coil. I would get a new modern coil and keep the old one for posterity. |

Look at the short life of many modern coil packs for example. Epoxy filled..... I like NGK oil filled coils. Or any other oil filled one really. |
