MC vs Automotive coils
is there a difference? I have to run 6v coils for the electronic ignition I just picked up, is a coil a coil? I can get auto coils cheaper than mc coils.

- SELF INTRODUCTION: I was on the last board as bonustoolkit. I have changed that to my given name.
I started a project build there " File and Fit." I paln to continue that when I go back home in Dec. 2011. I first joined the board when Gary W had it in the year 2005. That was the time I really gained an interest in building chops. I have a long way to go, compared to some here.
Re: MC vs Automotive coils
I googled that online, and some of the articles referred to this piece written in 1975.

I still need to read most of it, but it seems you can use car coils.

Re: MC vs Automotive coils
Thanks man...interesting read. Seems that if I were still using the points system it would be an improvement. I'm gonna make a call to the co. that makes the ignition system I bought to see if the added voltage will damage it or not.
