Hi all,

Bought an lucas gold coil ages ago and was wondering if this would be suitable for my turbo engine. I know lucas made both types......i.e. for electronic and non electronic dizzys.

I have fitted a mk1 electronic dizzy.

Does anybody know how to identify it correct, i.e which part number it should have etc?

Paul.

Lucas gold is not suitable i recall... There was a post a while back about this - all you need to do is measure the resistance to see if it'll work properly.
