Lots of VW/Porsche suppliers list them.

Re: 12 Volt Bosch blue coil PN-00012
The Bosch "Blue" coil is nominally 3 ohms, one thing I can't figure out is why Bubba doesn't recommend a coil closer to the OEM value when used with points & switched ballast. Ford used (about) 1.4 ohm coils with an external ballast resistor for many years in 12 volt systems. So for these applications, it would seem like the Bosch "Red" coil of 1.8 ohms would be the logical choice?

There were no early Fords with a 12 v,. supply. When changing over to 12 volts, this is the coil to use dump and any resistor in the circuit. |

Re: 12 Volt Bosch blue coil PN-00012
I've been using the black 00012 same coil just oil filled instead of epoxy..

Re: 12 Volt Bosch blue coil PN-00012
I've had good luck with the Beru 12 v. blue coil and it's half the price of the Bosch.

A 3 ohm ignition coil could in theory have more difficult cold starts, or possibly when flooded. Ford set up their 12 volt ignitions the way the did for a reason, all cars and trucks from 1957 to 1974 basically. Many other makes and models did exactly the same thing. ' |

Re: 12 Volt Bosch blue coil PN-00012
I've heard of Ballast resistors going bad occasionally but I don't think it's a cause for concern. Ford didn't seem to think so either (nor GM or Chrysler etc..) Remember this was THE classic points and condenser wiring circuit for millions and millions of cars and trucks, back when hollow state igntion ruled the roost.

Re: 12 Volt Bosch blue coil PN-00012
A failed ballast resistor had me hitchhiking to work one morning.

Re: 12 Volt Bosch blue coil PN-00012
That's why when a resistor needed, I use resistance wire.
