I've measured a few coils, including stock '71, GT40, Lucas sports (around '75), and stock '82 Z20 coil(s), and by FAR the lowest resistance, and highest saturation current was the Z20 coils. At least 50% better that the best of the rest (the GT40). I wouldn't use anything else but the Z20 coils. --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
