i am currently building a 76 t140v bobber and would like to fit harley coils. is this possible? not a problem fitting them but will they work?i know there is 12 volts going in and thousands of volts coming out. but do all coils work the same and just look different or do they work differently? does anyone out there know.

Primary resistance is important. Check the ohm rating.

I tried a beautiful little Harley based German dual output coil on my Boyer equipped 71 Norton. The coil had the correct resistance and worked but got very hot and finally began losing oil. I beleive some of the newer CD ignitions rely on a big voltage shot from a capacitor and can not take a large amperage draw. Electricity for me is blue smoke and voodo.

What about an Accel coil????? I understand they work well with Boyers..But that came from a guy selling them...

accel the way to go

thanks for the help, have been on tinternet and i think accel may have the coil for me. it is all to do with ohms and theirs start from 2.3 all the way up to 4.7 !!! now testing my coils to see what they are. thanks for the help
