Default Re: Leaking coil

It only takes what it takes/needs. Most older coils are good for about 20,000v which is just fine for most occasions. These engines will use maybe 16-18K under most hard conditions. I have a feeling that many of these old worn out coils may have a hard time putting out what is needed or 16,17K, and, some of them may have oil in them that just hasn't decided to fall out yet.
That said, I subscribe to the more is better theory. Therefore, I think 40K is more better than a paltry 20K. And, the price ain't bad.
