Just curious if a Blue Bosch Coil (00012) will work on a 1.8L JH? They are the same cost as a 00061(OEM for both my '85 and '8Cool and I figured I'd see if I could add a bit of color to the bay! It'll really stand out with the dual 40s I'm installing here soon!

Because many coils look the same but do not work the same. It could ruin the coil driver in the ignition control unit or just produce less spark.

All for looks? I would confirm with specs that it would work or buy a can of Krylon.
