Default Re: Dead Pertronix Coil

I have a 80s Ricks "show quality script coil"---- script can over Japan oil filled coil, been mounted terminals down for over 30 years, very strong spark, no leaks, many years drive MGB, the Lucas coil (oil filled) mounted terminals down by factory, no failures/leaks, the Bosch aircooled VW coils used in the Koehler generator would eventually leak tar and quit(long dwell time because only 1 cylinder
Nowadays I replace a lot of new looking coils used on older cars, , even the Bosch "blue" coils don't last, replace a few that failed in days
