<br>
Have been using a 50+ year old Lucas Sport coil on my '2 for some time <br>
and realize I may be pressing my luck with this one. Looking for a <br>
recommendation for a replacement; will keep the old Sport as a "get me <br>
home" spare.<br>
<br>
Understand the "new" Lucas Sports have had their share of premature <br>
failures. Also considered a Bosch "blue". Lots of after-market "super <br>
coils" from Pertronix & the like.<br>
<br>
Any recommendations & good experiences out there?<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
<br>
