COIL IGNITION 24V FITS ALL WATERPROOF MODELS
These 24 volt coils have been a problem for a few years now. They are not suitable for use with electronic ignitions, even the military-supplied electronic ignitions as used in the M151A1 and A2.
They work fairly well on a system with ignition points. One thing to be sure of is that you have your ventilation/fording system completely in tact because without the fresh air coming through the fording system, the coil will overheat.

I have purchased three of these and all of them did not last. They are made in Taiwan by Newstar. They break down after just a few hours of use. I ended up paying $230 to purchase a NOS American made coil and no problems with it.

Hi Bruce,
These 24 volt coils have been a problem for a few years now. At present, we know of no supplier or manufacturer that makes anything better to replace this one. One thing to be sure of is that you have your ventilation/fording system completely in tact because without the fresh air coming through the fording system the coil will overheat. We also have had customers who recommend adding a ceramic voltage reducer as was used on most of the 1960’s cars to help the coils last longer. Currently that’s the only thing we can offer to help.
