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.

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.

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.
