Looking to put a nice shiney coil on the toy for summer, 8)

is there any special requirement for a coil for a Single point injected motor, on a 1275.. :roll:

what output do I need.?????????????????????? :wink:

or do I just use a normal coil.....are they all the same.

I'm not sure about the requirements for the injected motors...

However for a dizzy motor you want a 3 Ohm coil with as high an output voltage as you can find. A higher output coil will allow a larger spark plug gap providing you distributor, rotor, cap, leads and plugs are in good condition.
You can also use a 1.5 Ohm coil but then you need to add a ballast resistor in series so there isn't much point.

As for looks you can get a stainless steel cover the the coil fits into to make it 'look' like a shiny chrome one, then you can just make do with any old coil...

pretty sure you need a resistor type coil, the expert would be Steve (username Brickworx)

thanx gents, the idea of a chrome cover is very appealing to me, I think I will leave all well alone and just go for the cover. :wink: :wink: :wink:

I went through that site but couldn't work out which coil I needed for an SPI mini. I'd be pretty keen to buy one though...
