Ignition coil

[malmos911]

Having checked for spark and finding none, I am confused as to the options for a new coil. Feed back on th Bosch coils is not good, made in Brazil, stay away. What are my options for a 1974 2.7 coil?
Thanks

I think the MSD Blaster or best derivative is fine. They have different names but a pretty conventional coil with favorable remarks. I have had mine for 15 years.

However, let other folks validate.

Try the one made by ************

['76 911S 3.0]

I used an MSD Blaster with my Permatune for a good while without issues.

I learned the hard way, (three Bosch coils left me stranded). John Walker suggested either finding a 30yr old Bosch black coil (stay away from new silver versions) or buy the MSD blaster. I just had a blaster installed and works fine, but not many miles on it yet.

Another Pelicanite offered to sell an old black one to me, try reaching out to him, OSI930.

Good luck!

Parts KlassiK and Classic Retrofit have replacement coils for CDIs. These look like the original ones and have good reviews on Pelican.

Thank you. I will try the Blaster.

MSD Blaster for me as well !

The one you want is the "High Vibration Blaster II"

Take the sticker off it and it looks like a old black Bosch coil.

Would the MSD Blaster Coil also be recommended for a 79SC with the stock ignition box and set up?

mount the coil right side up, not upside down.

I had a special coil wire made to mount mine

I have the MSD Blaster as well, works great.

Yes, it is a direct replacement on any 911-SC. It is not a performance upgrade, but the new Bosch Coils (Silver, made in Brazil) are garbage. I went through two of them in about a year before going to the MSD.

Which is why you buy the high vibration version, it is fully potted and you can mount it at any angle, meaning in the factory bracket. Been running two of them for about 10 years.

mine is red
it is on the factory location and still under the IC, its just right side up.
