Quick Question!

[Zeusimo]

I Have An Ignition Coil From 78 l20-b That I'm Not Too Comfortable With.

 

 

The Primary Resistance Is At 1.75 Ohms

The Owners Manual Recommends 0.84-1.02 Ohms

 

The Secondary Resistance Is At 11.825 KOhms

The Owners Manual Recommends 8.2-12.4 KOhms

 

Should I Replace It??

Is this a point coil?????

 

Point coils are about 1.6 from factory. So I will assume its a point coil that needs to run a run a ballast also a they like the lower voltage.

I think that it's been replaced with a non EI coil. They have a higher resistance on the primary. Yes yours should be about half that, about 1 ohm.

 

There's nothing wrong with this, it will run just fine and not hurt a thing. However the remote igniter distributor you have can handle a lower resistance coil and will in turn have a higher voltage output on the secondary if you do.

One Of These.

 

 

 

 

I Have No Idea What Brand It Is.

And The Sticker Has Been Peeled

[datzenmike]

Nissan converted to EI ignitions in '78 and earlier in California, so any coil from any car or truck after that date will work.

i have a good coil (good when pulled months back) pulled from my 210 that you can have. Not sure if specs match though.

Thanks, But I Wouldn't Want To Bother You

Besides Mine Works Just Fine, Just A Bit Curious If That's Bad...
