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.

When disconnected, I'm getting a full 12 volts on the two wires that connect to terminal #15 (+) on the coil, but that drops to 4.6 volts as soon as I connect them to the coil. > > -Hank
