Coil Testing

[Big Joe]

Thanks chrisvs; Excuse my ignorance but...er...does that mean I can use a 'ordinary' 12v coil or do I have to use a Pertronix Flamethrower coil?
Thanks.

An ordinary coil will/should work with the Petronix but as said above the Flame thrower is a better coil.

It also needs to have the correct resistance, check the spec sheet for the ignition module for details of what it should be, this chart may help:
