Coil specs for use with Pertronix
Posted: Wed Sep 16, 2009 9:45 pm
Need to find a coil for use on a 24volt Pinz that has the Pertronix upgrade. Any recommendations as to what brand to buy, and part number?

use a Bosch blue for a 69 beetle(3.6 ohm)

I can confirm, Bosch blue is a very good way to go. Make sure and ohm it, as there are two variants out there. (one claims to be without ballast, but is not 3 ohms) You want the 3 ohm one as Jim indicates.
Electrically these are identical to the factory coils, slightly hotter output than normal beetle coils, just in civvy housing. Seem to be a bit hotter spark, but not enough that you get into coil heating issues like some aftermarket.
Pick you up a raincoat off a BMW at a junkyard and you are in business:

This worked well even in FL water.
Have fun,
