I would like some advice regarding replacing ( upgrading) the coil. Should I get a Crane coil? They offer 3, again which one ? Should I consider; /html/triumphs/1997-12/msg01393.html (7,496 bytes)
2. Re: spitfire coil info needed (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Fri, 26 Dec 1997 21:02:06 -0800; Hans, I don't think any of the Spitfires had external ballasts. Therefore, If I'm correct, you need to look for an internally basslated coil. Otherwise, you will have to rewire the Crain Ignition sys; /html/triumphs/1997-12/msg01404.html (8,348 bytes)
3. Re: spitfire coil info needed (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Sat, 27 Dec 1997 01:10:54 -0500; I'm not sure for how long,but the later spits used a resistor wire and a 6 volt coil. The resistor wire was bypassed during crankover to give hotter spark/quick start. If you change to a Lucas Sport; /html/triumphs/1997-12/msg01410.html (8,373 bytes)

I keep forgetting that the '75 Spit I parted out is different from most 1500 North American cars. It has a Delco Distributor (no ballast wire) and a Mechanical Tach.; /html/triumphs/1997-12/msg01411.html (9,173 bytes)

The XR700 is made for the original 6V (ballasted) coil. The XR3000 is made for a 12V coil like the Lucas Sport. The '79 Spitfire has a resistor wi; /html/triumphs/1997-12/msg01466.html (8,851 bytes)
