I have had VERY good luck with the Bosch Blue coils. I had Lucas sports
coils for a while, but they never lasted more than a couple of years.
You can get them from Brity Vic for I think $34 (with internal balast).
Saw a strange car in a junk yard a couple of weeks ago.
A Triumph Herald Coupe, I did not look close but looked okay. It seems that
it had just been rolled in as it was near the entrance of the yard. Also
spotted in the same yard were 4 Morris Marinas (I forget what they are called
in the US), 4 Austin Americas, several Spitfire, Midgets, MGB and 2 TR7 (which
looked driveable).
