Battery SLOWLY Dying

No love.....

The 4 - 5 Ohm coils are meant to be used with points, and the 3 Ohm are for electronic ignitions. Using a lower resistance coil with points can cause a whole different set of problems, from burning through your coils to burning up points. I'm not sure what you have, but being an 81 I believe you have electronic ignition, so the 3 Ohm coils should be fine.

With nobody else chiming in, I hope that is the correct advice for you...if it's not, I hope someone else will pipe up.

Well dang... I ordered these from MikeXS:

I just felt like spending as little money as possible and matching my ohms as of now which is 4ohms. Later down the rode I might get the greenies, but I just need something better than my failing coils right now.

Also yeah I have an electronic ignition, thanks man!

Having the higher resistance coils on the electronic ignition shouldn't cause you any problems, but you may have a weaker spark. At that price, it's worth a chance anyhow

Let us know how you make out

Bump on this, any word on how those coils worked out? Those 4 ohms coils are considerably cheaper...
