Barrie,

	I agree with Bill---the Pertronix coil works well.  They call 
it a Flame-Thrower.  I currently have 2 of them in use, both with 
distributors converted to Pertronix Ignitor operation.  Theses coils 
put out a bit higher voltage than an original stock coil from the 
days of the Delco-Remy systems, are not too expensive, and are 
specifically designed to work with the Pertronix Ignitor conversion. 
Be sure to order the coil inteneded for 8-cylinder operation.  It has 
a different primary winding resistance than the one intended for 
4-cylinder use.

Cheers,
Dave K.

I've been using the pertronix coil for the last three years without any issues.

Sorry,
Forgot to say I have a  Delco distributor with Petronix from D&D.


I am embarrassed to say that after getting my Rover 3.5, Weber, mild 
cam and 10:1 pistons to run sweetly - I left the ignition on 
overnight and the battery went flat !!!!    I had somewhere in the 
back of my mind that this will ruin the coil.  Sure enough it is 
cooked.  Still works but top insulation is cracking and is leaking 
slightly.

Any recommendations for a replacement? - I had a Lucas Sports Coil  think!
