Zeusimo Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 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??

banzai510(hainz) Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment
Zeusimo Posted September 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 One Of These. I Have No Idea What Brand It Is. And The Sticker Has Been Peeled Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 Nissan converted to EI ignitions in '78 and earlier in California, so any coil from any car or truck after that date will work. Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 i have a good coil (good when pulled months back) pulled from my 210 that you can have. Not sure if specs match though. 1 Quote Link to comment

Thanks, But I Wouldn't Want To Bother You Besides Mine Works Just Fine, Just A Bit Curious If That's Bad... Quote Link to comment
