 I've never been the least inclined to purchase a current Lucas "Sports" co=
il, but that's primarily because it looks nothing like a "real" Lucas Sport=
s coil. You know, that red end with the screw-in HT lead, etc. Fortunately,=
 I have a couple of those, one of which did its job very well in my old ex-=
SCCA GP cum autocross Spitfire 4 in the 1980s and 1990s!

Anyone know what those original Sports coils put out?
