The higher voltage will produce faster starts and better throttle response.
Quality coils seem to be on the endangered species list.
Is there anyone in the US still making oil filled coils? I like to buy a couple of quality coils and bypass the Chinese junk if I can.
Thinking I may go with a Pertronix Ignitor 11 D104600 at this stage.

Summit lists your number as an Igniter I. This is the unit I buy...Igniter III D7104600

Summit's description lists this as magnetic, but Pertronix lists it as a multi spark, which seems to be a hall effect...


They don't seem to list as much info about the products anymore, such as the ohms of the distributor for the correct coil. Looking at "suggested parts" shows both ohms for this distributor ??????? Might want to call Pertronix direct and get the info.
