quote Shane.R13:
This is probably a silly question. But can I use a coil that matches up but says 12V not CDI on it? Not likely I’m sure but figured someone may know the definite answer.
Shane
That may or may not work. 12 Volt battery ignition coils are different from modern CDI coils, although back in the 1960s /1970s there were CDI conversion units for cars that used the original 12 Volt coils that came with the car. The "Delta Mark 10" CDI was one of the most popular.
These units converted 12 volts to approx 400 volts and used Capacitive Discharge (CDI) to dump pulses into the coil primary. I had two of them in cars back then.
