I remember those Bosch blue coils being the hot ticket on the sand rails and Baja bugs in the 1970s. They took a pounding and never failed. It still seems to be everybody's favorite. It would be nice to think there is still someone making a quality part.

I ordered one last week on ebay. The posting showed our old favorite with that nice thick coat of blue paint. Mine came in a bare aluminum case with a blue bosch stick on label. I was going to send it back but did research and everything seemed to say it superceeds the one we know. It is made in Brazil, which to bosch coil nuts online means it is a good one. Let's find a company to order from that still stocks the tried and true. Not a big deal probably, just a heads up.
