Need an alternative to the Bosch blue coil... which is either out of stock or not available. Odd.

12 volt

Thanks!

Assuming you are talking 12volt? I’m using the Pertronix Flamethrower with the Pertronix electronic ignition module.
For my 6v cars I bought a generic Chinese made one with internal resistor.

Beru for 12V.
Bosch for 6V.

If you are running a new. Pertronix module you have to use their coil.

Thoughts on a Bosch Black coil 00 015?

For your 74? Probably not. What's the full Bosch number?

Are you looking for something functional or with the black one do you want a specific look? You can paint any coil and put Bosch stickers on them.

Bosch has a coil for electronic ignitions and a different one for points. Something about the Ω

The Bosch Blue Super coil was an epoxy filled one. There is no alternative from Bosch. If you are wanting to stick with OEM Beru is the next one. It is not epoxy filled and is oil filled. The price is right for this type of coil in comparison.

Looking for functional and not concerned about the look.

My Ghia uses points.

I've used Beru coils before... I thought the Bosch Blue was OEM
