Re: Blue Coil for Transistor Ignition?
First Street Ignitions calls out their own coil as far as what they prefer but I don't know who makes them. They also sell Flame Thrower coils as well. Their unit seems to be based on the Pertronics system.
Bosch blue and silver coils are good for a standard point ignition system but I don't know about the Pertronics type systems. |

Re: Blue Coil for Transistor Ignition?
I've used the Pertronix flame thrower three OHM coil on my 12 volt model A's for years with good service and more power that I can feel . The black flame thrower coil is rated at 40.000 volts . The blue coil is rated at only 35.000 volts . The flame thrower coil is black ,normal size and is advertised to put out 5000 out more volts than the blue coil . I haven't tried the blue coil but the black flamethrower coil looks just like other replacement coils but makes a noticeable improvement in quick starts and power . The flame thrower coil has worked well with original style points for me .

Re: Blue Coil for Transistor Ignition?
I was asking about the blue coil because I have a couple of 30 year olds from my Porsche days. I must have burned up the FSI approved coil when the car stalled in my absence and cooked the whole thing. The woman at FSI talked me into a new module with the plate and all was wrong on arrival. She may have known less than I did about the product. Thanks: Fred A

Re: Blue Coil for Transistor Ignition?
I use the three OHM version on twelve volt applications . The one point five coil is for six volt applications and if used with twelve volts will need a resistor at the coil connections .
