Coil installed. See below.
-----------------------------
I have been reading and shopping online for ignition coil upgrade from my stock 86LXi coil. I happened to come across OEM 5195 at Amazon today. It has better review than Accel or MSD blaster so it drew my attention. The only thing I cannot find is the detail specs. There is also no mention in this forum as I have searched. There's also not a lot of info on internet. I have never heard of Original Engine Management till today. Anybody know anything about them? I figured out it is only ~$16 per coil and it looks like the Accel stock coil or MSD blaster (without those fancy color or graphics labels), I should give it a try.
My only concern is the primary winding resistance which it doesn't state in anywhere. I know the Blaster is about 0.7 ohms and the Accel is about 1.3 ohms. I don't want to go lower than 0.7 ohms so as to protect the power transistor in the igniter. I know Blaster SS primary resistance is 0.3 ohms and people have used it. But they may be using it with the additional controller (6a?). But I want to replace the coil only.
