Re: Replacement MSD Coil

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxx>]

Canister coils are pretty much interchangeable (assuming you want
whatever voltage they're putting out). I'm running a Pertronix. Louie
G is running a Jeg's private label. Stay away from the MSD with "power
tower" terminal (probably wouldn't fit under cover), but any of their
others should work.

to confirm the MSD part number before I go get one.

getting a full 12 volts on the two wires that connect to terminal #15

to the coil.
