- Suit yourself, but it wasn't me that mentioned a "blue" coil. I regard Bosch electricals as being only one baby step above Lucas, and use an Accel coil myself. Randall Greetings... Actually, 'twas I

- Hi folks, I just got a flat bed tow home -- I'm pretty sure the coil went. What's the life expectancy of a coil, do they just die like that with no warning? Is this another spare I should carry? :) T

- Damn, I just read the threads on rotors...I just replaced mine last night and 25 miles later it died. I better try the putting the old one on and see what happens. Thanks

- I carry a spare coil because 1. mine died 1 hour after I bought my TR4, 1000 miles from home, and b. they're fairly small and inexpensive, yet not always found at chain stores. The coil is mounted to

- Barring unusual circumstances, they should last 50 years or more. Opinions vary, obviously, but I don't. The wrecked TR3A is still wearing the coil I bought at K-mart around 1988 (old one was physic

- OTOH, I do carry a spare (Lucas, dated 10/72). The Lucas Sport Coil that had replaced it died after just 15K miles or so. With the spare coil I also carry a little bungee cord so 'installation' is qu

- Randall, I must have missed it if you mentioned it earlier. You bought a new TR3 to take the place of your wrecked one? Wonderful! Is it, as you described your last one, a "rat rod"? OD? Did you buy

- How do you test one to see if it's "weak"? Just put a multi-meter on it and check the resistance reading and the output reading? Bob Danielson 1975 TR6 http://tr6.danielsonfamily.org Ken Gillanders (
