Hello

The problem is that Bosch sold high performance coils for the aftermarked and they where blue as well and used in many cars ( Volvo ). And they where coils for standard ignitions. As said before the Bosch CD unit has not a coil. The thing looking like a coil is only a transformator and has a slight different working process.

But those transformators where also sold in several colores. Most where black but early ones where also in blue and not to forget some units where orange ( depending on the car manufactorer, Maserati or Alfa had sometimes orange units ).

So don´t go for the color make sure the order# on the bottom is correct match. You also can go for the terminals. Most CD units have only terminal +, - or A, B while normal coil have 15, 4

Grüsse
